Shade Color
Well I've decided to take the plunge and purchase a Magna Shade. Have had a Prompt in the past but it occasionally comes loose and has scratched the front a bit. My shade in the past is a light tan color. The Magna Shade salesman says black is the best color for heat control. I'm struggling with this. He showed me data in high heat showing the difference between the shade temp and inside. I feel that the black color will always gather heat. My light color shade doesn't get that hot in high heat and allows very little heat transfer. I'm wondering if he's using this example just to show a general blocking of heat with the shade. It just seems to make sense that a lighter shade will draw less heat and still block the transference. What are your thoughts.
