| Sep 22, 2018 at 16:51 | comment | added | safesphere | You are referring to the effect of a white or silver coat reflecting infrared. This effect is used in a thermos to keep the contents hot or cold. This also requires a heat insulation (like vacuum in a thermos). Without insulation, the temperature under the white paint would be higher due to reflections thus canceling their heat keeping effect. So the paint color would not substantially affect the cooling time (starting from the same temperature). | |
