In terms of heat, efficiency etc., the difference would be negligible if it's even there to begin with.
The only real difference you'd see is dirt build-up, which would be more noticable on lighter colors. This would still occur on darker colors but you wouldn't see it as easily.

True.
Have you noted any places where colour would matter?
Anything that is in the sun. A white car will not heat up as quick as a black one when you drive in the summer, same for a light colored roof on a house, or a train or a bus.
So whenever something is outside and facing the sun, choose the lighter colored version.
