The New South Wales Building and Sustainability Index (BASIX), has classified roof colour into light, medium and dark determined by their solar absorptance. The light and medium colours have insulation and or roof space ventilation concessions. The light, medium and dark categories are also to be used in verification software, such as NatHERS, if the verification path is used to meet the BASIX thermal comfort requirement the table contains the Solar Absorptance and compliance of each Energy Star colour.
 

BASIX classifications for light colour is a Solar Absorptance less than 0.475

BASIX classifications for medium colour is a Solar Absorptance between 0.475-0.70

BASIX classifications for dark colour is a Solar Absorptance greater than 0.70
