Default Condensors white or silver?

The condensor on the back, is black tubing. As
we know, black absorbs heat from the sun shine,
which makes the compressor work harder.

Of course, that condensor can be painted. Which
color paint is coolest in summer, and works best
to release the heat from the refrigerator? White, or
silver?

I would NOT paint the lines, those lines need to be able to shed has
much heat as possible. Consider adding an extra cardboard/FRP/metal
back to keep the sun off the coils, leave plenty of space for air movement.
