The only conceivable reason you would want to do this, is to reduce heat absorbed through radiation, which is so minimal that it wouldn't be worth the effort: you'd do far better by increasing your rad-fan's rpm by 1 or 2... (Yes, 1'000 rpm + 1 rpm)

Opaque things *absorb* light. To minimize absorption, you'd want something reflective or transparent.
And yeah, we're talking an absurdly small amount of energy. A crapload more than the energy absorbed by light, but nothing that would increase water temperature by so much as a thousandth of a degree.
JSimmons, really, what is your intention?
