Well, Ex: If you went to six flags you would most likely want to choose a white instead of a black shirt. Here's why. White doesn't have any colors in it so the sun's rays beam right through it, whereas if you wore a black shirt the sun's rays would attract that color and reflect its rays on that color, causing it to absorb much more sun rays than a white shirt ever would. That's the best way I could put it.

How does the color of shirt affect the amount of heat it absorbs?
It depends on how much light it absorbs, and what kinds. A black shirt absorbs more heat because it is not reflecting any light. a white shirt on the other hand reflects most of the light that hits it. When light is absorbed into something like a shirt, that light energy is transformed into mostly heat energy. So light is either absorbed and turned into heat, or reflected into your eyes. Different colors can have an effect depending on the kinds of light in a light source. You wont notice a huge difference in the sun though.
