"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.

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.
