I would think so, but why not try it on a sunny day?

Does light colored clothing refract or reflect light?
Light reflects off of light colored clothing. Light refracts when passing through a material (such as water).
How does rainbows relate to physic?
Rainbows are related to physics through the lens effect of water drops. Water in the atmosphere acts as a lens and bends sunlight passing through the drops producing the colors of the rainbow. Newton demonstrated this lens effect, demonstrating that "white light" was composed of colored light.
How long does it take for sunlight to heat up water in a dark colored cup?
Sounds like an experiment you could do, all you need is a cup, water, and a thermometer. If you can get two thermometers try it with one white cup and one dark colored one.
What is a example of light refacting?
A rainbow happens when sunlight is refracted by drops of water in the air.
Does water attract sunlight?
No. Nothing attracts sunlight. Water can, however, refract sunlight.
Does the color of a cup effect the temperature of the water?
I'd have to say yes if the cup is in sunlight for example. Just like when you wear different colored shirts outside. A darker cup will absorb more light, and a lighter cup will reflect more light. The light energy converts into heat energy. Therefore, a darker colored cup would make water get warmer faster in light.
What do Chloroplasts absorb energy from?
"light" or "sun" or "sunlight" or "photons" or "solar" or "light energy"
Does light colored clothing refract or reflect light?
Light reflects off of light colored clothing. Light refracts when passing through a material (such as water).
What is required for the light reactions?
water, and sunlight
In the sunlight what do plants take in?
Light, water, and CO2

Why is water under shade cooler than the water in sunlight?
Its simple... Sunlight is a form of energy.. Energy is mostly liberated in the form of heat. Since water in the sunlight will receive more light energy, its temperature will increase. The water in the shady region will not receive that much light energy as received by the water in sunlight. Hence, its temperature will be low relative to the water in the other case.
Why cant deep water ecosystems rely on photosynthesis?
Because there is no light. Sunlight doesn't reach that far down.
What causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back into space?
Many people think that clouds consist of water vapor, but they are actually water droplets. Smooth, light-colored surfaces reflect light best, and because of the abundance of surfaces in a cumulus cloud (raincloud), there are many chances for the light to reflect back or be absorbed and re-radiated.
What 4 ingredients are needed by a plant to perform photosynthesis?
water, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll and enzymes
What is the major products of photosynthesis?
Sunlight or any kind of light and water
What causes north pacific oceans to turn blue?
Sunlight is made up of all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Some of the sunlight is reflected off the surface of the water, reflecting the color of the sky. Some of the sunlight penetrates the water and is scattered by ripples and particles in the water (this tinges the appearance of the ocean with the color of the particles). In deep water, much of the sunlight is scattered by the oxygen in the water, and this scatters more of the blue light. Water absorbs more of the red light in sunlight; the water also enhances the scattering of blue light. Source: Enchanted Learning
