An ultra-white paint that’s hydrophobic would be a good thing.

Just wait until they invent Ultra-White Blacktop...er...Ultra-Whitetop.
Then they will be madder than Murder Hornets that we are no longer using Blacktop.

Most home owners don’t wash down their homes enough to keep this effective. Many homes are so dirty and mildew covered that the color reflectance won’t work.

I painted a roof white with elastomeric reflective paint in the California desert. Worked like a charm - reduced mid summer indoor temperature by up to 25 degrees in hottest day
BUT IN WINTER I NEARLY FROZE.
To: American Number 181269513
I coated my composite shingle roof with white elastomeric paint a number of years ago and it did help keep the house cooler using less AC. I’d give this a try over the top of that to see if it could help. Maybe even paint the white part of the house; especially the sides that see the summer sun.

That’s why it would have to be hydrophobic, so the rain can do that type of maintenance for you.

“Save the planet by painting your house a boring color”
Why stop there. Might as well paint everything to save the planet. White teeth, white hair, white streets, white grass (like permanent snow). The possibilities are endless.

How about 99% reflective mirror surface?
Chrome your house for a much better rejection of solar radiation.
Fire it all back into the atmosphere to heat it up and cause real global warming.
The Zoolander boys in the lab are so smart. There stopping by the gas station later before heading out to lunch.

In Arizona they paint the tree trunks white to protect from the heat. So there’s that.
