Do dark color repel or atract sunlight?
Question:colors like forest green and navy blue and black?
Answers:
A light color is considered to be so because is reflects more of the visible spectrum of light than dark colors. As to heat, dark exterior colors absorb more infrared, heat, than light or reflective, i.e. aluminum, surfaces.
Neither, dark colors absorb heat not light. Now if a room is painted a darker color it will not reflect light as much as a lighter color.
absorbs heat.lighter colors reflect
The verbs for which you are looking are absorb and reflect.
Dark colors "absorb" sunlight, not attract it.
