What is a good program-web site to help me pick paint colors by seeing what it would look like on my house?

I want to find a program or website where I can see how paint colors would look on a picture of my house or a house very similar.

Also if you have any ideas for exterior paint colors for a house with a white roof thats in central Florida.

The main problem I have is is that my house has a white PVC type roof (the roof has many PVC blankets that are fused together so its like one big custom shingle). So I'm having a hard time picking colors. I'm worried what the colors will look like with my white roof. I see many neat houses with green and brown roofs and paint colors that work really well but I know that wont work with my roof, so I'm trying to get some ideas. I see some websites with a color picking program but they are mainly for inside or have dark roofs.

thanks in advance

Update:

After looking online I found http://www.resene.co.nz/

and so far it looks cool, I tried the demo on the website but right now I'm downloading the full version for free and its 183MB and slow on my Wi-Fi connection :'(

    play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

    I think "roycroft brass" (# 2843) might be a great choice.

    You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

    You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

    I'm not aware of any sites or programs for that. But your white roof shouldn't be a problem, because white goes with most any color. For example, you'll notice 98% of interior ceilings are white with the walls pretty much any color it looks good. So i say not to worry to much about your roof color.

    Yes, www.behr.com has that but I think you have to pay $5 or some really small price for it.
