"Use the principle that white reflects, dark absorbs, heat. Plant shrubs and trees needing heat and light in front of white-painted walls."

That adage applies in most areas of the country. But in the Southwest, too much light and heat is deadly to many plants, for at least 6 months of the year. Some will grow all year in a north-facing garden. Some will do well in a patio with walls that cut off the Sun for much of the day. So even a maxim that sounds perfect may need to be rethought when filtered by geography.
Even so, I like your 'permaculture principle.'
Even in a more temperate climate I would shade vegetation in the heat of summer, and plan for light reflection to extend my season in both the spring and fall.
Nice post bro definitely getting my vote
The man loking nice....
Certera tus palabras, pero hay suelos ácidos y temperaturas altas. Ejemplo en mi región llanera venezolana, no se da plantas de manzana y peras hace mucho calor y por ende las tierra es árida. Te invito a ver mis Post.
