Does black attract the heat?
Sunlight falls on everything it can hit, unless it's blocked by something. The only difference is geometrical issues such as orientation to the path of the light mattes, so that if it's at 90 degrees to the sunlight more will fall on the surface than if it were, say, at 15 degrees to the sunlight. But, that's true for any surface, not only a black one. What is true about black surfaces is that they are much more absorbent. Some surfaces reflect light much more than others, and the difference roughtly correlates with color to our eyes. White surfaces reflect better, black surfaces absorb better. for that matter most rough surfaces absorb better and shiny polished surfaces absorb less. So, overall, a black surface will get warmer than a white surface, all other things being equal, which of course they rarely are.

Their painted white because darker colours attract more heat, meaning they get hotter, faster. White, being the opposite of the darkest colour/shade, black, would then keep whatevers inside the house cooler than in a dark/black house. Does that help?

Why do we feel hot when we wear black shirt?
The black seems to attract the heat. The same goes for a back car left in the sun compared to a white car. If you feel the top of both cars, the black is a lot hotter than the white one. Black absorbs more radiation than other colours, this is why we see it as black. The heat we feel is infra-red radiation, part of the electromagnetic scale.
Why do dark colors attract sunlight?
They do not 'attract' sunlight but the color black absorbs ultra-violet heat rays while whites and light colors reflect them; try searching for "the color spectrum" - it doesnt attract it. it absorbs more of it. black can absorb more light than white does, because white reflects light, making it look bright. black doesnt reflect any, making it dark. this is why it is smarter to wear light colors on a hot day instead of dark colors.
