It'd think it'd be because black aborbs heat where as white does not. Hence if the inside is darker than the houseide, heat would be being absorbed by the black inside and perhaps radiated by the lighter colour outside. I've often wondered if it would work in practice, but haven't tried. Interesting to hear it does!
