The only real insulation options are either the expensive external insulation or internal dry lining up to 75 or even 100mm. Insulating Plaster (Ext/Int) is now also gaining in popularity as thinner coat minimises structural / aesthetics of the building.
IGOE Insulating Paint is available in white matt. Can be used a finish (if you like white) or use it as an undercoat.
You can paint over it with any colour or brand of water based paint you choose.
