Buildings in Ghana are often painted with light-colored paint to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, helping to keep the interior cooler. Light colors have higher albedo, meaning they reflect more sunlight than darker colors, which absorb heat. This can help reduce the need for excessive air conditioning and energy consumption in hot climates like Ghana. Additionally, light-colored buildings can contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment for occupants.
