Why would dark colored clothing attracked more heat?
Dark colored clothing absorbs more light and energy from the sun compared to light colored clothing, which results in the dark clothing becoming hotter. The absorbed heat is then transferred to the body, making the person feel warmer. Light colored clothing reflects more light and heat, helping to keep the body cooler.
Why do lighter colours reflect the heat instead of absorbing the heat?
It's not the fact that lighter colours reflect the heat as much as it is the fact that they reflect the light. Light colours mean that more of the light is reflected off them (otherwise we would have no differing colours - it would all be black), while darker clothing absorbs the light. When the light is absorbed, the laws of thermodynamics state that the energy has to go somewhere. It turns into heat. If you were standing in a completely dark room with a set temperature, it would not matter what colour your clothes were, as there would be no light that could turn into heat.
Will sunlight heat up water quicker in a dark colored cup or a light colored cup?
I would think so, but why not try it on a sunny day?
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.
Can clothes reflect light?
Yes, clothes can reflect light. Some fabrics have a shiny or reflective surface that can bounce light off them, making them appear brighter. Metallic or sequined clothing items are good examples of clothes that reflect light effectively.
Would a person wearing dark clothing on a hot day feel cooler or warmer than a person wearing light colored clothing?
If dark clothes are hotter why do people from hot countries have dark skin?

What do you a light-colored bucket?
A light-colored bucket would be called a pale pail.
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 do people in the desert countries usually wear light colored clothing and some sort of headgear?
Because white reflects light and heat, wearing white would make you cooler, no matter where you wear it.
If you wore all black on a sunny day would you feel a lot warmer than if you wore all white clothes?
No. Black holds heat and paler colors will keep you cooler. I live in an area that gets 105+ in the summer and always get light color cars for that reason and make sure I wear light weight light colored clothing in the summer.
