Why does a white car with a light-coloured interior stay cooler than a black car with dark coloured interior?

Dark colors such as Black or Blue absorb sunlight and heat much more than light colors such as white or yellow.Dark colours do not exactly absorb more heat, but they do convert a higher percentage of light into heat. If you notice when heading out in the sun with a dark coloured shirt it gets hot, where a lighter coloured shirt would not get nearly as hot. This is due to the amount of light being absorbed by the colour. The lighter the colour the smaller the range of visible light being absorbed and converted into heat.Read more: Why_does_a_dark_colour_absorb_more_heat_than_white
