That would be nice. As they appear now they look cartoonish.
If I were to buy any of these, I'd spray the entire roof, hatches and all, with a slightly darker shade of the original roof color, giving a little contrast, since you probably won't be able to exactly match the factory roof color. That would look fine. Even painting the roofs all black probably would look acceptable, all dark blue in the case of the Alberta. Just my opinion.
