What happens when light hits a black surface?
the black absorbs it in Answer Any black object will reflect back light because of the friction particles that are on its surface, these will reflect back the light which shines upon it. It is said that black is the absence of color but we see it as the color black. The same goes for white light which is a combination of all colors but we see it as the color white. A black object will always reflect some light.
What colors reflect?
Lighter colors reflect light better because it does not absorb all of it some of it reflects and you see light colors. That is why they appear light. They reflect almost all of the light that hits them thus making them light. White reflects the most light and black absorbs the most light. Different colors reflect different amounts of light. Light is also heat. Thus the more light reflected the cooler the object.

Why is the sun attracted to dark colors?
The question is a little off. Sunlight isn't 'attracted' to anything, in the sense that light 'wants to move toward' certain colors. But when light shines on objects of different colors, different parts of the light are reflected off of the objects and absorbed by the objects. An object that is close to a very pure white color will reflect most of the light that shines on it; an object that is close to a very pure black color will absorb most of the light that shines on it, and so will absorb more energy.
