I love dark colours and due to that, I got my house painted with dark paint. The painting was done in the winter season, but when summer arrived, the house became hotter than usual. I called my uncle and asked him how much does paint color affect house temperature.

Does the Color of your House Affect the Temperature Inside?
My uncle told me that, yes, the colour of the house affects the temperature inside. He then provided me with a few points. He said that
Light colours reflect the sun’s heat away from home, while dark colours absorb the heat.
Light colours keep our home cooler, whereas dark colours keep your home warm.
Studies indicate that white paint absorbs 35% less heat than darker colours. On the other hand, darker colours absorb around 90% of the sun’s heat.
After that he told me to get the house repainted and make sure to use light colours. He also suggested some light colours that I can use for my house. Here are those.
Ivory
Light grey
Turquoise
Butter yellow
Pale blue
Camel colour
Beige Colour
White
Off-white
And that’s all he told me when I asked how much does paint color affect house temperature. I hope this helps.
