During the 2010-2011 off-season, the ballpark roof of Chase Field was recoated with an Energy Star certified material which improves the ballpark roof's reflectivity rating and thermal emittance rating, which helps to reduce the heat island effect in downtown Phoenix.

Wherever mean value of emittance spectrum is, these wavebands cover only tiny part of cummulative emitted energy.

Nick, mean value of blackbody emittance spectrum is hardly relevant given its very wide distribution, while absorbtion spectra of CO2 consists of few very narrow bands.

But this idea is about not only the color of a roof but also its solar reflectance (SR) and thermal emittance (TE), which are rated on a scale of 0 to 1, with 1 being the most reflective or emissive.
