[LargeFormat] White ?? Bag Bellows Material

[Ken Hough]

I make lots of bellows for the Deardorffs I restore and re-manufacture. I 
have made white bellows. The material was white synthetic rubber. It glued 
and folded nicely. But it was so ugly! I solved the heat problem by simply 
removing the back and let it air.

What about color?  Black absorbs heat -white reflects.  Is there value in
having the outer skin white?  While black would reduce flare inside is c.
35% less heat a consideration (I recall the difference in a white vs. black
camera/film case temperature when left in daylight (full sun)?
