Darker colors absorb more light and heat compared to lighter colors, making them appear warmer. As a result, dark colors appear to attract more sunlight because they retain and absorb more of its energy. This is due to the difference in the way light energy is absorbed and reflected by different colors.
Darker colors on radar typically indicate areas of higher intensity or heavier precipitation, such as thunderstorms or heavy rainfall. This can help meteorologists identify where the most intense weather is occurring.

Color affects surface temperature through absorption and reflection of light. Darker colors absorb more light and heat up more than lighter colors, which reflect more light and heat. This can result in darker surfaces becoming hotter than lighter surfaces when exposed to sunlight.
the darker the color, the more heat it takes in. That's why most summer clothes are light colors.
Lighter colors reflect some heat while darker colors absorb it.
Darker colors hide the visible buldges better.
Darker colors absorb more heat energy from sunlight than lighter colors. When the heat source, such as sunlight, is removed, darker colors also release that absorbed heat more quickly than lighter colors. This is why darker colors cool down faster than lighter colors.

Darker colors tend to absorb more light and heat, whereas lighter colors reflect more light and heat. This is why objects with darker colors might feel hotter to the touch when exposed to sunlight, compared to lighter-colored objects.
Yes, darker colors tend to absorb more light because they reflect less light compared to lighter colors. This is due to the higher pigment concentration in darker colors. Lighter colors tend to reflect more light, making them appear brighter.
Yes, darker colors tend to absorb more ultraviolet (UV) rays compared to lighter colors. This is because darker colors contain more pigments that can absorb UV radiation. Lighter colors, on the other hand, tend to reflect more UV rays.
Lighter colors tend to reflect more sunlight, while darker colors absorb more sunlight. This means that lighter colors are exposed to higher levels of UV radiation, leading to faster degradation of pigments and fading. Additionally, lighter colors often undergo more chemical reactions with UV radiation, causing them to fade more quickly compared to darker colors.
To make colors darker, you can add black to the original color. This process is called shading. Alternatively, you can mix the color with its complementary color (opposite on the color wheel) to darken it.
