Colors don't block; they absorb and reflect. Red absorbs all colors but red; red only reflects red.

Why do dark colors block out more light than light colors?
The darker a color is, the more black is mixed into the color.When you look a red apple, you see red because when light hits the apple, all the colors except for red get absorbed and only the red color is bounced back from the apple into your eyes. So you only see red coming from the apple.Black in essence is a "color" that does not reflect any light. So when you see something black you are not seeing any colored light bounce back from it; on the other hand white objects reflect all the colors back because white is a combination of all the colors of light.dark colors then, since they have more black in them than white, will absorb more colors, and lighter colors, since they have white, will reflect more.
