  1. Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light. Sometimes black is described as an "achromatic color", but in practice it can be considered a color, as in expressions like "black cat" or "black paint".


  2. It doesn't ATTRACT the sun, it just doesn't reflect any of it away.  If you see something that's a color(that's not glowing hot like metal)it's that color because it absorbed all the others and reflected away the one you're seeing.  If it's white it reflected away ALL the colors(or at least enough of them to cause white light)and if it's black it didn't reflect any of them.  If you absorb more light, you absorb more energy, as simple as that

    Things that are red will be a little bit hotter because the light they're absorbing(everything that's not red, so yellow, green, blue, that whole part of the spectrum)is more energetic light, and things that are blue and purple are absorbing the lower energy light like red and green

  3. black isn't a colour, but a shade...

    and the answers above are both good...
