It's due to the black colour's rate of absorption of heat.
Try wearing a black cloth on a normal day and wear another colour. Notice the difference in body temperature between the clothes being worn. Now, apply that logic to painting your house.

yh sometin is wrong wit it which is purely science. Black body radiate heat much more dan all other colours. So if u paint ur house black, it wil be absorbin heat nd it will definitely radiate al of it. It has emissivity of 1(i.e a perfect absorbtor)

You inadvertently contradicted yourself here. Simply put, white radiates heat and black is a good absorber of heat. This is the major reason a lot of people preferred to paint their houses in white colour(or any other) to black colour.

The same is applicable to clothes, when you wear black colour clothes it absorbs a lot of heat whereas white tends to radiate the heat away.

@OP;

Hope this helps answering your question.

Houses r not painted black because black absorbs temperature.
If the weather is hot that means the house will be hot and vice versa if the weather is cold.

Wrong! Blackbodies absorb heat. A perfect blackbody will absorb all radiation that is incident to it, and this is why it will not be desirable, particularly in Nigeria, because you will then need unnecessary amount of energy just to keep the insides cool.(Maybe it would make sense in somewhere like scandinavian regions where it is usually cold though).
Re: Is Anything Wrong In Painting A House Black? by Shagati(m): 2:33pm On Oct 25, 2013
OP,
There is nothing wrong in painting your house black. The primary concern in Nigeria is the heat. I am sure it is possible to even achieve this with some heat resistant or reflective paint/glass but then, some cultural limitations do exist.

festwiz: I don't think there is any house painted black in the world.on a funny note,if u paint it black in naija,even theif go fear u

I love black color fashion accessories, but painting any room black is a no no! I know people with black bedrooms, nails, lips who have the culture of darkness.

So @ Op, go for it if you care it!
