Paint color vs Temperature | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I thought this was an interesting graphic for those considering different paint colors and living in hot areas of the country... Nothing startling here, but still surprised to see how huge the spread between white and black, and every color in between. http://www.quietride.com/acoustishield/cartemp.htm#cartemp

Strange that cream would have a higher temp than white.

The others are all understandable.---Jack
