Dark. Light colored material reflect sunlight. Some tropical cities require white roofs on homes and business and they have reduced cooling costs by 20%.
Dark blocks more light because it absorbs the light
It is the dark colors that absorb energy, not the other way round. Dark colors have a tendency to absorb more light, as well as electromagnetic waves with frequencies close to those of visible light.
Because of their colour, dark things tend to absorb more light than brighter colours. It has to o with the electroimagnetic spectrum and the ability for photons in light to either jump to another energy level orreverting back to its original energy level. when the electron becomes excited, it absorbs energy. When it returns to its original state , it emits light.
Colors that appear light appear that way because they absorb less of the incident light, and reflect more of it to you.Colors that appear dark appear that way because they absorb more of the incident light, and reflect less of it to you.
Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.

Yes it can as dark and light colors absorb and reflect light. The darker the more it absorbs light and heat energy.
The dark bench absorbs more heat.

Because it absorbs all the light and is cooler than bright ground, there for needs sunlight.
Yes. Light is visible electromagnetic radiation. Dark colors absorb more light, so they absorb more energy and release it as heat energy. Light colors do the opposite, they reflect light.
Because black absorbs all light whereas white reflects all light back. The energy that black absorbs as light manifests itself as heat.
Depending on the source of the heat energy: -A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper -Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
Lighter colors reflect more light. Darker colors absorb more light. Sunlight is energy. You feel warmth when the sun shines on you because you are absorbing the energy of the sunlight. Darker colors absorb more energy so get warmer than lighter colors ------------------- Just like this answer ^^, dark colors do absorb more heat than lighter colors. Question is, I'm not really sure why.
