I was actually googling for this exact question a little bit ago. I have seen datacenter that had white walls or offwhite walls that are constantly banged up and what not and darker datacenter walls that do not show wear and tare as much....

I have a pondering thought about whether or not there is truth behind the fact of black or dark walls absorb heat. Heat obviously is attracted to dark things so do you think it will have any benefit to a datacenter environment. As an ex employee of Equinix, I know that we standardized on a really dark grey bluish coloured walls as well as a painted black roof on the inside and white gravel on the rooftop.. Perhaps this was more of the equinix effect as opposed to a beneficial effect.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated as I have a build coming up very soon!
