What colors reflect?

Lighter colors reflect light better because it does not absorb all of it some of it reflects and you see light colors. That is why they appear light. They reflect almost all of the light that hits them thus making them light. White reflects the most light and black absorbs the most light. Different colors reflect different amounts of light. Light is also heat. Thus the more light reflected the cooler the object.
