Where large areas are painted white, what effect would it have on your eyes. Reminds me of snow blindness.

Just like a tennis player might don a white shirt instead of a black one on warm summer’s day, researchers see great potential in dressing buildings in reflective white paints to keep them cool. A team of material scientists is reporting a major advance in this area, producing a new kind of super white paint that reflects almost all incoming radiation from Sun.

Good.

One way to do that would be to embed cube corner reflectors in the paint.
But that would be a bit expensive.

Come to think of it. Cube corner reflectors would reflect back everything. So no matter which direction you looked at the painted object all you would see would be yourself and what’s behind you.

Very handy for pantomime.
