California is thinking about banning dark-colored cars, because it takes more energy to cool them via their air conditioning.
The California Air Resources Board has proposed regulations requiring that paint and glazing (on windows and sunroofs) reflect certain amounts of energy, and there is no black paint that will meet these requirements. It's not clear if other dark colors could be made more reflective in order to meet the requirement.
Unfortunately, what California does often affects other states because they are such a huge market.
