They recently started launching highly reflective satellites, which counterintuitively reduces the amount of light scattered in earth's direction.

The dark paint was a stupid idea, that never realized.

>The company developed a highly reflective dielectric mirror film and a low-reflectivity black paint, which are applied to several parts of the spacecraft body. The mirror-like surface reflects sunlight into space instead of scattering it toward observers on the ground. In addition, the solar panels can be oriented so that observers do not see their sunlit sides.
