Most houses in the desert are painted white as white reflects the heat and does not allow for the walls to absorb it. On the other hand a black house would absorb all heat and the house would be a lot hotter then if it was painted white.

Why are houses in foreign coutries painted white?

They aren't and just like the United States they are all colors.

Why do you think that the houses in other countries are only white? I have lived in Germany and been all over Europe and guarantee they all aren't.
