What if there is not light in the oven? How then does the darkness of the pan matter?

You may not realize it but the dark color absorbs more infrared light than a shiny pan. So food in a dark pan cooks faster. If the heating element is one the oven may not be all that dark...

dark pan absorbs heat from light and stove top flame. dark oven only takes in heat from oven cuz of a (normal) oven's positioning (angle)

because you know how you get hot very fast when you wear dark colors in the sun well same thing happens with food in dark pans. the dark pulls in heat

I'm not convinced it does. Many foods brown more quickly when there's sugar in them, dark pan or not.

Because dark colors absorb heat more

Cause dark colors absorb light/heat where light colors reflect it.
What gets hotter outside....a black car or a white car?
Same principal.

heat is absorbed into darker colors.
Hence the "don't wear black in 90 degree weather"
