Best Answer

Darker colour indicate better absorption of light.

Shiny surface is due to it reflect off the light.

When the object to totally dark it is because it absorb all the light and transform to heat.

You might want to proof it by placing black object and shiny object in the sun, wait few hour and see which object is hotter.
