I have chosen a white car in preference for black or dark colour for some
years now. I have not noticed any difference in the heating of the
interior of the car. My white car standing in the sun can have an interior
temperature, if windows are closed, of over 50C, no problem. Air
conditioning turned on when I enter it soon gets that down, and in the WA
climate AC is an essential.
No, the reason I chose a light colour like white is the ease of other
drivers being able to see me on country roads. A dark coloured car can
merge into the landscape until it is close whereas one of white or yellow
stands out.Green or grey are particularly hard to see on our dark grey
roads with dark green growth on either side of the road.
