I've got an all black interior DC that is white outside, & live in the high
desert(SLC) & no AC!  No problem!  The dark interior, if shielded from the
sun shouldn't get any hotter than a lighter interior-the exterior, however
is a different deal?

As a design professional(LOL), differing colors in front & rear would not be
preferable in my opinion(which means nada).

YMMV,
