An Internet search pulls up "Kool Seal" rubber roof products, primers and top coats. I can't find any that is not white, except the aluminum top coat by Kool Seal.
Considering the roof of your RV is that dark grey color and it seems to be consistent across the entire roof, I am of the opinion the sealer had a dark color to it, and all the cleaning in the world will not make it white.
If you have now cleaned your roof and it is now dry, take a white cloth. Make it damp, not dripping, and wipe it over a section of the roof. If the cloth stays white ... your roof is clean, no dirt. You're good to go, regardless of the color of the roof.
However, if the cloth comes up dirty, then simply wash the roof again. It still has dirt on it, or, that black stuff is coming off. In which case, wash it again to be sure it's clean.
But, if you washed it with bleach water, I'm pretty sure it's as clean as it's going to get.
FYI, "Kool Seal" is the name brand of a product, not the name of a process, although the name brand may have a process for applying their product.
