What color absorbs the most light?

Answer

Black is the color that absorbs the most light (that is why it is black -- because all colors of light are absorbed and so none are reflected back to your eye, making it look black). White reflects all colors of light, and so absorbs the least amount of light. White looks white, because all the colors combined make white.
