T&T: Canvas Color

[capteric36]

 Hello All,
  My understanding is this.
 White reflects more vidible light and the longer 
wavelength infra-red light(heat).
  Darh colors (dark blue, black) absorb the 
ultra-violet better, reducing the chance of 
getting a sunburn even while under the canvas.

  Therefure the ideal cover is simple. A white 
outer layer and a dark blue or black inner layer.

  I SAID IDEAL, not cheap!
