What are the factors that go into deciding what colour to paint your
aircraft?

I like some of the sexy reds (they go faster) and other colours but the fact
that most aircraft are painted white leads me to conclude that there is
something else to all this.

In my case, the aircraft will not (unfortunately) be hangared.

Metal, fabric, or compost?
As compost airplanes can go soft in the heat, like a giant cheese,
most are painted white to reduce heat absorption while sitting in the
sun.
