Red-coloured objects appear red because they reflect mostly red light. Thus, they must absorb most of the other colours of light. Since light carries energy, they are absorbing solar energy, which is, of course, why objects that are left in the sun get hot.

Objects that are coloured black absorb all visible frequencies (colours) of light, which makes them appear dark, and also means they will absorb the most solar energy and heat up fastest in the sun.

Does the color of light affect the solar energy output in a solar pnel?

I guess that if light of shorter wavelength (red) it would have a higher energy which would mean that it would have more photons per joule.

Why does spinach extract turn red in bright light?

I don't know the source of your "bright light". If it's sunlight, which of course has some UV in it, or if you take the extract into a dark room and shine a "black light" on it, you will see fluorescence. The source of the red color is chlorophyll. When in place in the leaf, the electrons of chlorophyll absorb solar energy. These excited electrons then fall into an electron transport chain that will strip them of the added energy, using that energy to form ATP and NADPH. The red color you see when you illuminate chlorophyll in a spinach extract with UV is the fall of those "excited state electrons" back into their "ground state". In falling, they shed their energy in the form of red light.
