White is best, most reflective. Better than aluminum sheet or metallic paint. The venerable Bob Hoover once tested various surfaces for solar heat reflection, and that's what he found out, if memory serves me correct. It's been a long time since I've found any of his sermons on the internet. Someone who has his cd might be able to confirm this or correct me. In general Bob Hoover seems to make sense, most of the time. Harald '90 westy
