Why do different colors get hotter than others?

Different colors absorb and reflect light differently, affecting how much heat they absorb. Dark colors, like black, absorb more light and therefore heat up more than lighter colors, which reflect more light. This is why dark-colored clothing can feel warmer in the sun compared to lighter-colored clothing.
