Paint color for stucco in the South-which one better?

[Mary Jay]

Hi guys,

The HOA on one of my rentals says I need to paint the house.

The house is in Arizona.

Its a very light color, kind of like generic Arizona color. 

Which paint color lasts longer in climates like Phoenix Arizona?

Light or dark?

You would think the dust/dirt on the light colors should be seen better than the dark colors.

But then the dark colors will fade in patches probably due to the strong sun...

I have right now something like that:

11828 S 44TH ST, Phoenix, AZ 85044 Single Family Residence For Sale | MLS# 6605574 | RE/MAX (remax.com)
Very light color.

So which one is best for climates like Phoenix? Dark or light colors for stucco?

Thank you
