Why will a dark colored liquid warm up faster than a light one?
It depends on the type of heat, but if the heat is coming from a source of light, then yes. For example, if you left different-colored liquids in sunlight, the darker liquids will absorb heat faster. This happens because different colors absorb different wavelengths of light. As you can see with a prism, white light is actually made up of all the other colors. When this white light hits an object, some of the wavelengths that make up the light will be absorbed by the object, and the rest will be reflected. A red apple looks red to us because it reflects the red light wavelengths and absorbs every other color. Black substances don't reflect any wavelengths, so they absorb the most light, and in turn the most heat. However, white substances reflect all wavelengths, so they don't absorb much light or heat, and they are cooler. So while a white liquid would absorb some heat, a black liquid would heat up at a much faster rate, and the dark liquid would be hotter.
Do cool colors reflect more light than warm colors?
It depends on the specific colors and whether they are tints or tones or pure hues. For instance Navy Blue is a cool color, but yellow (a warm color) reflects more light. But a dark red (warm color) would reflect less light than a light blue (cool). In color theory, using pure color hues (which don't actually exist in commercial products), Red, Blue, and Green would all reflect exactly the same amount of light, and Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow would all reflect exactly the same amount of light. But Magenta, Cyan, and yellow would each reflect exactly twice the light as Red, Blue, and Red.

Is warm or cool colors heavier?
Warm colors like to float through the air and cold colors kiss the ground
Does color affect heating by absorption of light?
yes it does if the material is dark it will be warm if it is light it will be colder Yes, darker colors generally absorb AND RADIATE more heat from radiated. Meaning that if there is plenty of radiated heat available for example from the sun, dark clors will absorb more. If it's dark and cold out and the surface is hot, a dark surface will also RADIATE more heat than a lighter colored surface. It's called "black-body radiaton."
Does food mold faster in the light or dark?
in dark, warm, moist places
How does the dark clothes get warm faster?
Dark clothes get warm faster because they attract the heat more than light clothes. The color black especially attracts the heat.
Why will you likely be cooler if you were a light colored shirt instead of a dark colored shirt on a warm day?
Darker colors absorb light and heat; lighter colors reflect light and heat.
On a hot day, black clothing can feel too warm because?
Dark colors absorb light
Does mold grow faster on apples in light or dark places?
Mold usually grows on things in the dark because the light prevents the mold from growing. Mold will grow very slow when put in the sun but in the dark, it will grow faster! :)

Which colour between dark and light loses heat faster in cold weather?
light because the darker the color the warmer and longer it takesd to warm up.
What are considered cool colors vs warm colors?
Cool colors are generally colors with more blue in them and warm colors have more orange. Blue is the coolest color, and therefore orange is the warmest because it is the farthest color away from blue (they are compliments). The color wheel can be divided into global warm/cool halves, with blues, purples, and greens on the cool side and reds, oranges, and yellows on the warm side. However, every color can have local warm/cool variations. A yellow-green is warmer than a blue-green. A purple-red is cooler than an orange-red.Warm/cool has nothing to do with light/dark as the previous answer incorrectly stated. A dark orange (brown) color is warmer than a light blue and, similarly, a light orange is also warmer than a dark blue.
