Solar reflective and thermally emissive surfaces offer a sustainable way to cool objects under sunlight. However, white or silvery reflectance of these does not satisfy the need for color. Here, we present paintable bilayer coating that simultaneously achieves color radiative cooling. The comprises thin, visible-absorptive layer atop nonabsorptive, solar-scattering underlayer. top absorbs appropriate visible wavelengths show specific colors, while underlayer maximizes reflection...
