It would become very hot. Dark surfaces absorb more light than light-colored ones. The energy from that light is turned into heat. In space there is nothing to filter out the light from the sun and no atmosphere to help dissipate it. For example, areas of the moon that are exposed to direct sunlight reach temperatures of about 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 Celsius).

One of the problems in spacesuit design is getting rid of extra heat. If the spacesuit were black, it would ABSORB heat too well, making the problem even worse.
