Pots

Ok, Im getting ready to order from hydro orchids to repot 5 of my orchids from clay pots & bark/moss mix to Leca clay. Now since orchids need a drop in temp at night. Would I get better results with the black or the white pots they have? Black would be warmer during the day (I have a southern exposure) so there would be a larger drop in temp once night comes around or would black be bad and get to warm during the day or doesnt it matter and Im thinking to deep? I like the ease of care the system offers the one orchid I bought from them at the Parkside nurseries orchid fest.

Heres my list of orchids-

1- Brassia ‘Rex’
2- Dendrobium hybrids (one is a keiki that I mounted on cork)
2- Phalenopsis (home depot rescues)
1- Oncidium kramerianum x Versteegianum (this came in the hydro system)
1- Cattleya aurantianica
1- Blc. Chia Lin 'New City' AM/AOS
