I was told by a plastic welder who manufactures custom items for commercial and marine use that the black PVC and polyethylene last outdoors in the sun and that the white PVC & poly deteriorated quickly by the penetration of the sunlight threw the white color damaging the plastic,
causing it to be brittle and break easily.
I wonder if the white paints condition, not the color, is more subjected to sunlight damage by its light passing white pigment.

It dawned on me that NASA makes everything white so they can find it again !
or
could be "we never get to "SEE" the black stealth stuff"
