ISRO's C25 cryogenic stage now sports white, ditches black; What's the science behind it?

India's largest rocket LVM3 is at the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, getting ready for the lift-off at 9 am on Sunday, March 26. The launch will mark the sixth flight of the LVM3 rocket. However, there's one thing that makes this LVM3 M3 vehicle different from all the LVM3 rockets that flew before it — this rocket has a changed colour scheme (from standard grey/black to white) at the cryogenic stage, the upper central portion of the rocket.
