What is Best surface to minimize solar heat gain?
The answer lies in the Leslie Cube (look it up in an Internet search). Though the cube demonstrates which surface radiates heat better the principle is the same. A dark colour absorbs solar energy better than a light surface and a matt surface likewise absorbs solar energy better than a gloss surface. Think of it this way ... the amount of solar energy hitting two side by side surfaces is the same for each but the light glossy one will reflect more solar energy and therefore absorb less while the dark matt surface will reflect less solar energy and therefore absorb more. Hence solar heat collectors are black.

What is the difference between a pencile and a marker?
One of the crucial differences between paint and markers is the method of application. Markers traditionally are encased in a plastic shell and used by simply drawing or shading as normal. However with paints, these require more preparation and specialist knowledge. Unlike markers, paints come in a huge array of types such as gloss, matt and acrylic. With all this in mind it can be difficult to decide which type of paint to choose for use. Another crucial factor is that paint is traditionally applied with a brush. These can come in a variety of shapes, thicknesses and length. In conclusion the main difference is the application method and the ease of use, with markers being easier.
