Planets that are highly reflective in the visible and radiate well in the infrared would be the coolest. This is because they reflect most of the incoming sunlight and do not absorb much of it, resulting in lower temperatures on their surfaces. However, they emit infrared radiation efficiently, which allows them to cool down quickly.
