Diiferential Expansion

It may not affect performance but I will bet money that it stretches the skins at different rates in the wing. I had an ultralight that I did a repair on once that had dark blue leading edges and thin wing skins and you could hear the skins moving in the heat. White is the colour I like the most on cars and aeroplanes.
