Regular asphalt/fiberglass shingles that are white get really ugly really fast from dirt, pollution, mildew etc. This is the reason most people in this part of the world don't use white shingles.

What about clay / tile roofs?

Don't recall seeing any white clay or tile roofs. Most tend to be a red clay / saltillo color. I suppose because you mainly see tile roofs on spanish / mediterranean style houses??

White tile roofs in FL get mildewy, too. The get repainted or at least pressure washed every so often. The paint we used was the white elastomeric stuff.
