What is the best color not to reflect heat?
Light colors such as white, cream, or light grey are best at reflecting heat and keeping surfaces cooler by absorbing less sunlight. These colors have higher albedo, meaning they reflect more light and heat away from the surface.
What surface is good at reflecting heat?
Light-colored surfaces like white or metallic surfaces are good at reflecting heat. These surfaces have high reflectivity, meaning they bounce off a significant amount of the sun's energy, helping to reduce the absorption of heat and keeping the surface cooler.
Is it true that most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough?
Yes, that is correct. The rough surface of paper scatters light instead of reflecting it, which causes it to appear dull or absorb light rather than reflecting it effectively. This is why paper is generally not very good at reflecting light compared to smoother surfaces like glass or metal.
A good example of white light?
White light is another name for polychromatic light. That is light that contains more than one wavelength. For example, sunlight is white light. An example of monochromatic light is a sodium vapour lamp or a LASER.
Why white color is good reflector of light even it is mixture of seven colors?
it is more specifically the atoms that make up a chemical or pigment that will determine the color that we see. Each specific atom or combination of atoms has a specific frequency that it is allowed to emit or "reflect". When the photonic or light energy is absorbed by the atoms that make up the paint, the electron shells of those atoms expand. Each atom will eventually pull the electron shells back in where they belong into their original place. When that happens, a specific amount of the absorbed energy is emitted or released by the atom. That is the energy that we see. The atoms that make up paint that we view as a dark color such as black, keep more energy than they give back. That is why they heat up faster, they are holding onto more energy. The atoms that make up paint that we view as a light color such as white, give back more energy than they keep, this is why they feel cooler than darker colors and take longer to heat up. So the answer to the question is that the atoms in white paint give away most of the energy that they absorb and emit that back to our eye which then absorbs and processes the energy.
Which colours are good at reflecting light?
White and silver are good at reflecting light because they have high albedo, meaning they reflect a large portion of the light that hits them. These colors appear brighter and help to keep surfaces cooler by reflecting heat.

What kind of kitchen colors go with white counter tops?
Yellow is a good match for white I think. Although another good color is maroon because of the dark/light clash. Look at http://www.Behr.com or try a local paint shop.

How do you make brown paint lighter?
Add blue and white paint and you will you have the color you want. It's always best to add blue to white rather than the other way around. Otherwise you may need enormous quantities of white to get the color as light as you want.
How is titanium dioxide good for paint?
It is a nontoxic background white pigment.
How do you paint stained gypsum?
First use a good primer, such as Kilz or Behr. You will need at least one coat of this, for very bad stains you could use two coats. After that you should be good to paint over top of it. If you are going to paint a very light colour, such as white or soft yellow, you might want to use Behr paint and primer in one, as it offers the best color coverage.
Is the color black a good reflector?
No, black is not a good reflector of light. It absorbs most of the light that hits it rather than reflecting it, which is why it appears dark.
Is reflective paint bad for the environment?
Reflective paint may in fact be good for reducing global warming. Just like snow and ice, reflective paint has an albedo effect, reflecting the sun's rays back into space, rather than absorbing them.
What primer do you use to paint over a brown stained door?
depends on what color you are painting it ... generally you would want to paint it white... i would go with a clear coat of primer first and then some white.... then two to three coats of white paint. Any good quality oil or shellac based primer will do, however it is best to give the door a good sanding first.
Can you paint a lighter color over a dark-colored wall?
You will want to first paint the wall with primer paint. After that, if you are using a good quality paint for your light color, you can do it with one coat of paint. If it's cheap paint you may need 2 or 3.
