Default What color to paint inside of hood

I've used 2 part, high gloss, epoxy paints in the past but even they yellowed with the long term exposure to high intensity lighting and significant heat in the hood. I'd just go with a high gloss white paint and put a clear coat on it, or go with some marine paint if you're so inclined. I'd be cautious of "anti-mildew" paints for fear that the chemicals could potentially find their way into your reef (via potential paint chips or something of that nature).
