Depending on the source of the heat energy:

-A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper

-Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
