    Its a bit misleading. Black clothes will absorb the heat from the sun and your body and then the clothes will cool via convection. So the wind blowing through the clothes takes the heat away. White will reflect the heat from the sun away and your body back towards you.

    Im sure theres some debate and probably way more to it but i have always felt more comfortable in the heat than other people and i wear darker clothes the majority of the time. If that anecdote bares any weight.

          Light is energy, if a medium absorbs the light it converts to heat. if it reflects it the potential heat goes away with it

      Are you telling me a human body is different from a manikan torso?

      Seriously though, I think you’re onto something.
