I MADE A $40 BET ON THIS QUESTION!!THE DUDE NEEDS PROOF!!!
Is white a reflector or an atractor? What about black? Like, if you wear a white sweater in the summer will you be hotter and have more chance of sweat than if you wear a black sweater in the summer ?

white is a reflector and black is an attractor
white reflects light, that is why skiiers and snowboarders wear sunglasses because of the glare from the snow
black absorbs light, that is why black top is always hot when in the sun

the black sweater will be hotter because its going to absorb the heat and keep it in. the white is a pretty good reflector.

White is a reflector, and black is an absorber. Who won the bet?

White I think is a reflector. All the colors of the spectrum show, which results in white. Black absorbs all colors of the spectrum from the sun.

white is a reflector, black is a retractor.
In the summer, white reflects heat, but black just absorbs them. Try thaat in the summertime

White is a reflector. Black absorbs light. Examples and proof are everywhere....
Example - in makeup, you put white concealer where you want the light to reflect off of to make you younger. This is why anti-age makeup is reflective.
White pants make a girls butt look big because it reflects the light fron all the nooks and crannies of all her flab.
Black is black because it takes in all the light rays and they all blend together to form black.
White is white because it reflects all light rays and shows none, which is white.

you will sweat more if u wear a black sweater because the black colur will absorb the heat more and a white sweater will reflect the sunlight

Black is the absorption of all color.. white is the lack of it. Hence, Black is the atractor - White is the reflector.
As far as one hotter than the other - assuming the material is cotton, the black would be warmer. If it is wool, or a more natural material, it won't matter WHAT color it is.....
