In the case of radiation from the sunlight, yes the light is attracted and absorbed in darker colors.
I could paint it white, but when I close the hood it will be dark no matter what. I believe the issue would be what type of coating or paint to use rather than what color to choose.
My K&N is not touching the heatshield, there is about a 3 inch gap all around also.
There is much speculation on what material to use also.
Some use plastic, some use aluminum and other metalic material to reflect the heat away from the filter.
