Painting the outside north-facing wall of a middle latitude house one color and the south-facing wall another color is not a bad idea because on different directions the light from the sun has different magnitude.
Depending on the season and whether you want it to be warmer or cooler, the south-facing wall would be painted a lighter reflecting hue if it is exposed to a lot of solar insolation. There will be variations in sun insolation on each wall. Therefore, using such painting techniques to regulate the temperature within the building would be advantageous.
