Nasa have developed a painful spacecraft that can be any color including black and still have the properties of white paint. It’s only colored in the visible part of the spectrum but allows IR to pass right through.
Although you do need to paint the vehicle white initially as an undercoat.

If it’s like this stuff then it’s more than just white paint.

If it’s like that stuff then they didn’t invent it.

Well, they would have invented the specific formulation they’re using. I’m sure it’s not exactly like this but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same concept with microbeads.
No one invents anything totally new. It’s all adding on to what others have made in the past. Nothing has ever been created from scratch.
