Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat
nyctre@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoCould you link one of these? All the ones that I can find say there’s quite a bit of a difference

Sorry can’t find it, all I can fins are some where the data isn’t clear.
If a white car has brighter interior it will stay slightly cooler, I cannot find a test where everything is the same except the color of the car.
What I can say however, is that the test I saw was performed in Denmark. It’s possible countries with hotter climates may observe some difference?Obviously the main source of heat is what enters through the windows, and how much is reflected out again does have an influence.,
If a white car has white seats and interior, they will obviously not heat as much as black seats and interior.

A lot of things seem obvious but turn out not to be, or not as much as I’ve first thought. Hence the usefulness of data and studies rather than mere reasoning.

If you saw my other post, this is absolutely confirmed by data.

OK I’ll link the danish test, this test is done with 2 cars that are identical, except for the color of the paint:

Translation:
The conclusion is that the black car does not heat up noticeably more in the sun than the white.
So it does a little bit that you can measure, but not enough to really make a difference.

Maybe the fact that the experiment was done when outside were only 20-22 degrees made the difference less noticeable? Otherwise I can’t explain why all the other tests I’ve found said the difference was 5-10+ degrees.
