With all due respect, that's not the real question. The real question is
"Why do efficient absorbers of radiation look dark ?" You see, the things
that absorb radiant energy are the things that look dark.
It's simple, really. If a fabric, a liquid, a solid, or a gas suspension absorbs
most of the radiation that strikes it, then less visible light bounces off of
it, and less light eventually winds up in your eye, causing your brain to
decide that the object is what you call "dark".

What type of energy absorbs dark colors?
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.
Do dark colors absorb heat?
Yes. All colors absorb heat. The quantity depends on which color. Darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors because of differences in light wavelengths.
Why do light colors absorb less heat than dark colors?
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.
Can dark or light colors transmit heat?
Dark colors absorb more heat than light colors because they absorb more light energy. Light colors reflect light and heat, making them cooler.
What absorbs radiant energy?
Darker colours (ex. black, navy blue) absorb more radiant energy than light colours, like white. Also, it helps if the surface is dull (not shiny) and cold at the beginning, because cold things absorb more radiant energy.
How do dark colors absorb heat?
the darker the "color" of an object the greater the proportion of radiant energy it absorbs
What type of energy absorbs dark colors?
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.
What colors absorb sun?
Dark colors such as black, navy blue, and dark brown absorb more sunlight than lighter colors like white or pastels. This is because dark colors absorb more light energy, converting it into heat.
Do dark colors absorb heat?
Yes. All colors absorb heat. The quantity depends on which color. Darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors because of differences in light wavelengths.
Why do light colors absorb less heat than dark colors?

Can dark or light colors transmit heat?
Dark colors absorb more heat than light colors because they absorb more light energy. Light colors reflect light and heat, making them cooler.
Do dark colors create more heat than the light colors?
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.
What absorbs radiant energy?
Darker colours (ex. black, navy blue) absorb more radiant energy than light colours, like white. Also, it helps if the surface is dull (not shiny) and cold at the beginning, because cold things absorb more radiant energy.
Do dark colored materials absorb less radiant energy than light-colored materials?
I would say that the dark-colored would absorb moreradiant energy than the light-colored materials because the light-colored reflects...
Why dark colors warm up faster than light colors?
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.
Do all colors absorb heat?
No, not all colors absorb heat to the same extent. Dark colors tend to absorb more heat than light colors because they absorb more light energy. Light colors reflect more light and heat energy, which is why they are often used in hot climates to keep things cooler.
What colors absorb solar energy best?
Dark colors such as black, dark brown, and dark blue are best at absorbing solar energy because they absorb a wider range of wavelengths across the visible and infrared spectrum. Lighter colors like white and light yellow reflect more sunlight and therefore absorb less solar energy.
