Dark colors absorb more light energy than light colors, which is then converted into heat energy through a process called absorption. This heat energy increases the temperature of dark colors more quickly than light colors, leading to the perception that dark colors warm up faster.

Why do the dark colors dissolve faster?

Dark colors tend to absorb more heat from the Sun, which can make them dissolve faster than light colors due to increased energy input. Additionally, darker colors may have more pigment or dyes that can break down more easily when exposed to various solvents or chemicals during dissolution.

No, the color of the soda does not affect how quickly it can remove corrosion from a penny. The key factor is the acidic content in the soda, which helps to dissolve the corrosion on the penny. Both light and dark-colored sodas can be effective at cleaning pennies due to their acidic nature.


Do light candles burn faster than dark color candles?

In theory, dark candles should burn faster, as dark light absorbs more heat than light colours, as light colours reflect more (which is why you can distinguish between dark and light colours). If the candles are made from identical wax, the dark colour should burn faster, as it would get hotter. However if it's different coloured wax it's most likely that the different wax has different properties which could change the difference in time.

Dark colors appear to absorb less light than light colors because they reflect more light back into our eyes.

This difference in light reflection results in our perception of dark colors as absorbing less light.
