Black both absorbs and emits radiation better. That would result in the house being hotter in the daytime and colder at night.

 how will the house painted black get colder in the night , because black doesn't absorb the cold and even if the roof is painted black the materials used to build the roof are still there so souldnt those sponges in the roof trap the heat inside
