Considering a custom branded shirt for your next promotion?
 
There’s a scientific reason for the difference in heat absorption between different colors. This occurs because of the varying degrees of light absorption, with darker colors absorbing more energy and converting it into heat, while lighter colors reflect most of the light and absorb less energy, thus staying cooler.
 
And what about color? For example, what makes red, red? The color of an object is determined by wavelengths of visible light that it reflects. For instance, a red shirt appears red because it reflects red light (wavelengths around 620-750 nm) and absorbs other wavelengths. Dark-colored shirts (like black) absorb a broader range of wavelengths across the visible spectrum. In contrast, light-colored shirts (like white) reflect most of the visible spectrum and absorb less.
