I posted information on this stuff last summer some time. It includes hollow
ceramic spheres in the paint. The advantage in heating season is the same in
cooling season, you don't get the solar gains when the sun shines but neither
do you have the radiation losses all of the rest of the time.
They are now promoting light coloured roofing for similar reasons.

Hmm, this sounds pretty interesting, but I guess it is probably more
useful in hotter climates. I'm just thinking that it could reduce cooling
bills but consequently increase your winter heating bills since you
wouldn't be getting the advantage of solar heating. Although, cooling is
usually more expensive than heating, and the fact that this stuff is
supposed to last so long is also a savings.
