Objects are coloured because they absorb certain frequencies and absorb others.
For example a green object has absorbed red light and what was left, the green light, and so on.
A white object reflects all the frequencies (colors), a black one absorbs all.

Why do some objects appear black if black is not a color?
The saying "black is not a color" implies a certain meaning of the word "color" which has nothing to do with whether objects can appear black or not. It basically comes down to a question of semantics, which has a lot more to do with language than it does with physics. Ultimately, "don't worry about it" is probably the best answer.

What absorbs more sun black or white?
Black, an absence of visible color, appears such because it absorbs the visible light spectrum when struck. White is the presence of the entire visible light spectrum, and as such absorbs very little light. This is why white objects do not heat as quickly as black objects when left in direct sunlight. Of course, the heat that is actually stored by any object is infrared, which is why even with a pure white surface, that surface still captures some heat.
