Best Answer

NO! Ideal materials for radiating heat are black. If a body is radiating lots of heat then its electromagnetic(EM) spectrum should peak below the visible range(Infrared region),making the material look dark.

What is the best material for conducting and radiating heat?

Silver is about the best for conduction, with copper not far behind. For radiation, a black body is best, and will radiate more heat the hotter it is. The sun for instance acts as a black body with temperature about 6000 deg C.
