Not at all. What would be of significance is the absorbtion/emission characteristics of the paint at infra-red wavelengths. Although things that are black are often good emitters of infra-red, the colour of an object at visible wavelengths can mislead as to its characteristics in infra-red.

(Anyhow, the amount of heat emitted as infra-red is, as said earlier, not very great.)

Not funny weird. It has always seemed the "natural" colur for a rad to me. Everything else looks odd, however.
