Only in much more recent times have liveries come along with dark-coloured upper fuselage, a double negative of adding weight by paint without the benefit to the cabin air con of the solar heat reflection. You will invariably find such colour schemes are devised by design houses who have no aviation experience.
With insulating blankets along the whole aircraft would it really make a difference today?
