Black absorbs heat because it is unable to reflect light/radiation. This is because black, the absence of light, does not have any light waves (obviously) to reflect the light energy back. While all other colors and neutrals (grey/gray, white, etc) reflect a percentage of light back. This is why black and other dark colors are worn during winter or in cold climates- it absorbs and traps heat to help keep you warm. While in the summer, or in hot, dry climates, clothes in light colors such as white, yellow, pink, light blue, etc. are worn to reflect light, helping you stay cool.
