The only colours that should have any emissive are those that radiate light - but then it shows a limitation of the studio package - the emissive should be a light-source as it's radiated light (e.g. a glowing red-hot metal bar should have a red emissive that should cast a red-light onto the surrounding parts).

Because LCD and plasma TVs produce images in a fundamentally different manner—plasma is an emissive technology that generates light, whereas LCD is a transmissive technology that requires a backlight—there will also be some features unique to each type of display.

One of the optical holy grails is for a true flat black, e.g. a black materials that is completely absorptive and thermally emissive at all wavelengths.
But this idea is about not only the color of a roof but also its solar reflectance (SR) and thermal emittance (TE), which are rated on a scale of 0 to 1, with 1 being the most reflective or emissive.
