They figured out it works for ground as well, they also have to worry about colliding with aircraft from below as well as from above.

Perhaps they should develop color-shifting paint that would change colors as one approached it, each shade more visible than the previous.

As for the solar gain of cars, I bet the big old greenhouse most of them have called windows are probably far more responsible for more increased air conditioning energy requirements than the color of the paint. I bet dark colored interiors have more effect than the painted surfaces on the outside. I think this is one for Mythbusters to test.

If it's true, then all cars should be white, or chrome, or shiny metal. Maybe Delorean was onto something.

I know Delorean was on something.

Strictly speaking, black and white aren't colors in the spectrum. They aren't even colors.

No, it's you. You're not a color.
