It is the dark colors that absorb energy, not the other way round. Dark colors have a tendency to absorb more light, as well as electromagnetic waves with frequencies close to those of visible light.

What type of energy does a solar panal use?
A solar panel absorbs solar energy
What makes darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors?
White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed. Thus heat is absorbed by dark objects and reflected by light ones.
What type of clothing holds in the heat?
dark cloths like colors like black and navy blue.tryin not to luagh but doesnt everyone know that?
Why will a dark colored liquid warm up faster than a light one?
It depends on the type of heat, but if the heat is coming from a source of light, then yes. For example, if you left different-colored liquids in sunlight, the darker liquids will absorb heat faster. This happens because different colors absorb different wavelengths of light. As you can see with a prism, white light is actually made up of all the other colors. When this white light hits an object, some of the wavelengths that make up the light will be absorbed by the object, and the rest will be reflected. A red apple looks red to us because it reflects the red light wavelengths and absorbs every other color. Black substances don't reflect any wavelengths, so they absorb the most light, and in turn the most heat. However, white substances reflect all wavelengths, so they don't absorb much light or heat, and they are cooler. So while a white liquid would absorb some heat, a black liquid would heat up at a much faster rate, and the dark liquid would be hotter.
What type of surface absorbs more sound?
a solid surface
What type of energy does a solar panal use?
A solar panel absorbs solar energy
What type of chemical absorbs energy?
The two kinds of chemical reactions are endothermic and exothermic. A chemical reaction that absorbs energy is called an endothermic reaction.
The type of chemical change that absorbs heat energy?
Endothermic Reactions :)
What is a reaction that absorbs energy?
The type of reaction that absorbs energy is endothermic. This process takes the energy from its surroundings, absorbs it, and creates heat.
What is a chemical reaction in which energy is absobed?
Endothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction that absorbs energy. Energy is a property of objects.
Which type of chemical reaction absorbs thermal energy?
Endothermic
What type of building absorbs the energy of seismic waves?
Fixed-base buildings absorb the energy of Seismic Waves.
Which type of reaction absorbs heat energy and drops in temperature?
You think to an endothermic reaction.
What makes darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors?
White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed. Thus heat is absorbed by dark objects and reflected by light ones.
What type of material used for railway track and why?
cast iron, good in compression & can absorbs more energy
What type of chemical bond when a substance is dissolved in water absorbs energy from the surrounding water?
ionic bond
What are the attribute to the most dangerous type of radiation?
Its ability to impart energy to the object that absorbs it. For electromagnetic radiation this is generally proportional to the energy of the individual photon.
