why is white the most common colour for a radiator?

White is 7 deg. f. cooler than black. White paint can be loaded with titanium oxide which has better heat transfer properties.

You will actually observe of a lot of people in desert regions wearing loose black robes. This intentionally heats up the air inbetween their garments, but this air quickly rises and causes fresh cooler air to be sucked up from the ground. The steady stream of air has an overall cooling effect through evaporating their perspiration.\n\nIf you are wearing tight clothes, then white is better to simply reflect the heat as you are aware.

Brighter colors are more visible to motorists, which makes drivers more aware of your presence and avoid hitting you.  Clothing with reflective areas is even better, as it reflects the light from vehicle headlights.

the white is because of the lights reflection off of the ice crystals.  When it melts there are no more crystals to reflect.

Darker colors absorb the sun's rays and heat is built up.  Lighter colors tend to reflect and they stay cooler.  That's why people tend to wear white or light colors in the summer and dark colors in the winter.

All colors...or clear.\n\n\nTechnically, there's no true color.  The backing surface, behind the glass part, is a reflective silver-esque color, but it reflects light perfectly, which makes the person believe that it has all color properties.  Howevever, since light holds a wide array of colors, the mirror is simply reflecting all colors.  But since it requires light to show color, and it doesn't stay static in it's color reflection, it doesn't exactly have any one color.

color code was established by the (CSI of the FIA) Code Sportif International of the Federation International de L'Automobile\n\nThe US of A's color was White\n\nInteresting side note: Early race cars had a chassis that was visible and many countries chose a second color for this area.  When cars became more low-profile and the chassis disappeared, this second color was moved to Stripes or perhaps a part of the trim.  USA's trim/stripe color is Blue

this is a kind of question without answer... Abstract things as no colour.... its depends on the way we feel... usually people say it is white because is a neutral colour... goes well with everythinh, what we ask from peace....so, we can say peace is a neutral thing.... nobody will think peace and think on red same time...

We use 3 different colors where I work.  The color helps you with the hole location\nRed Front\nWhite Center\nBlue back

any solution gives colour due to the fact that the outermost electrons absorb the energy and move to a highre orbit corrospondingly. when they come back to their orignal state, the enegry is emitted in the form of photons, which may have the wavelength crrspndngly to a colour.

Yes it has a color as do all things. Originally they were made of polished silver the glass on top kept the silver from tarnishing. Now the reflective layer is only atoms thick and may not be silver but in each case the color is a metallic white whose reflective characteristics are so high that it is hard to perceive the actual color. If a slight color tint were added to the mirror, everything reflected would appear tinted by that color as it absorbs certain light frequencies. The white color of the original reflective surface does not absorb specific frequencies, rather it lets all frequencies bounce off of it, thus it is white.

It's one of those unwritten rules to show that's it's time to get out the darker fall and winter colors. However, since that unwritten rule was started things have changed a little. White is now a popular color to wear in the fall and winter as long as you're wearing something with a fall/winter material. Like a white sweater or white corduroy pants.\n\nSo, all in all, whites an all year color in the U.S.

i'm assuming it's white just cause there is probably more sugar and sugar draws in moisture.

he he...yeah thats true. But the fact is whites are the most colored of all people on earth i forget what the genetic material is called but whites have the most of them and blacks have the lease. Also if you buy a color wheel that has every color on in excluding white and you spin it quicly...you will see only the color white.

black absorbs heat, white deflects it

I suppose the answer is ultaviolet but as it is outside the visual spectrum of elctromagnetic radiation I can't see how you could define it as a coloUr.
