Why does the color black absorb light and the color white doesn't?

Light itself is made up of all the colors, and so an object that appears black will absorb all the colors, while white will reflect all the colors. This is also why white cars left in the sun are cooler than black cars that are left in the sun. The reason black absorbs light is due to the nature of what light is comprised of. The color black will absorb little "packets" of light called photons.
