You must know that white (light colored object) absorbs the least amount of heat and dark colored objects absorb the most heat. Hence in summers, a light colored car will absorb less heat and keep the car cool while in winters, the dark cars will absorb more heat and keep the car warm.

Do white colors reflect the sun more than dark colors?

Yes, white colors reflect more sunlight and therefore heat compared to dark colors. This is because white colors absorb less light and heat due to their higher albedo, which is a measure of how much light a surface reflects. Dark colors absorb more light and heat, which is why they can feel hotter to the touch than lighter colors.
