White objects reflects visual "light" where as black objects absorb it.
black the color is every color so it absorbs all the light(every color in the spectrum), and white is the lack of color so it reflects all the light(every color in the spectrum) that's why you get warmer when you wear black in the sun because it absorbs the sun and white reflects it.

What happens when white light reflects from a white paper?
The surface will look Red, because white reflects all colours and absorb none. If you hit a red light on, say, green then that would look black because green will absorb all the red but if it was a green light then it would look green. Every colour, except white, absorbs colours except itselves.
Why does an object appear white?
Light is an electromagnetic phenomena. it is made of up waves of energy vibrating at certain frequencies. The different frequencies of light have different wavelengths. The different wavelengths of light have different colours associated with them. All the wavelenghts together produce the white appearance of light.
Does black attract the heat?
Sunlight falls on everything it can hit, unless it's blocked by something. The only difference is geometrical issues such as orientation to the path of the light mattes, so that if it's at 90 degrees to the sunlight more will fall on the surface than if it were, say, at 15 degrees to the sunlight. But, that's true for any surface, not only a black one. What is true about black surfaces is that they are much more absorbent. Some surfaces reflect light much more than others, and the difference roughtly correlates with color to our eyes. White surfaces reflect better, black surfaces absorb better. for that matter most rough surfaces absorb better and shiny polished surfaces absorb less. So, overall, a black surface will get warmer than a white surface, all other things being equal, which of course they rarely are.
