Default Spacecraft paint jobs

After building a Lego set of the Saturn V, moon lander, Apollo capsule and moon
buggy last night, I got to wondering about the colors scheme of say, the Saturn
V. I was wondering why, on a big, white rocket, they have the black panels
scattered about. Is it just for aesthetics or is there a reason for it? Thanks.
