I find it interesting when looking a some RV roofs. They are almost black. Hard to find leaks when you cannot even see the roof. My 12 year old MH roof is almost as clean as the day it was manufactured. Probably better because my roof had a tare in it near one of the roof vents that leaked bad on our way home from purchasing it in AZ. I stopped the leak with some duct tape until we got home. Then did repair with Eternabond. Over 10 year later never had a leak again.
Black on the roof may not be dirt, but rather the thin outer white layer of some roofing membranes having worn off the underlying black roofing material. (Somewhat ironically, this can be hastened by excessive scrubbing).
