I think it also could lead to lower life expectancy of the blades. Darker paint tends to lead to higher temperatures.

And warmer blades might be less stiff, decreasing efficiency, and with it increasing birds killed/GWh (but that’s not even guessing from my side; I don’t know whether stiffness would be affected, and I don’t know whether it would affect efficiency, or in what direction)

Possibly. But if they're moving at a decent rate through the air that should cool them somewhat.
