this is to do with the clouds albedo (the amount of light they reflect) whiter clouds have more small particles whist dark clouds have less but bigger particles, this makes the white cloud more reflective as the particles have a bigger surface area

Why do you see lemons as yellow?
All objects reflect the color of light that you see. Thus; lemons reflect yellow light rays, limes reflect green ones, and Oranges reflect orange light rays. On a final note, white objects reflect all colored light waves, and black objects reflect none. With that said, the cones in your retina register these reflected light rays; thus, it makes sense that rooms without any light are black.
