Objects appear white when they reflect all wavelengths of visible light. Reflection of various wavelengths of light means that they are scattering the light back into the space surrounding the object, rather than absorbing that energy.
Objects appear black when they absorb all wavelengths of visible light, thus absorbing that energy (some of which is converted to heat).

What color absorbs the most heat?

The answer is black. Black is that colour formed when no colour in the light spectrum is present... A perfect black body takes radiation but does NT emit it back. So generally black clothes are hotter than white ones. And this principle is known as black body radiation.
