They'll commission an intersectional task force to determine if there are any alternatives found in indigenous communities or woman (preferably trans)-owned businesses. Then they'll make a few press releases about how problematic the color choice is and wonder why physics is racist.
Except for far North, lighter color cars are usually better since absorb a little less heat. Also easier to see at night. Black might look cool but it is opposite and not usually in a good way. Encouraging this new material could be produced cost effectively. The current heat reflective paints for industrial roofs expensive relative to the modest benefit. Metal roofs usually silver already but no special heat reflection.
White roofs have been a thing for decades, extra white neither here nor there in reality because dirt, dust and UV rays degrading paint, so white good enough, extra white pretty pointless but hey how about bitumen, no more black bitumen but painting roads will make them slipperier, cost a lot and require continuing maintenance. Could require land owners to paint over the car parks, especially malls but hey large empty car parks for malls is already pretty dumb. They should have a concrete slab placed above
AC enables the new fashion for sloping windscreens that make them into glass houses. So now AC is not optional -- you need it to solve the problem that it caused.
And make sure you keep that sloping windscreen clean.

We just can't call it "white" or as Stewie says "whhite".
Instead we use the more accurate and less offensive "most completely visible light and UV reflective paint".
MAMCVLAUVRA!!

Start putting town houses above car parks, every single mall world wide.

The thing it makes sense to build over parking lots is solar power.
Putting buildings above them requires extensive and thus expensive support structures. Solar panels don't require quite so much structure.
