blue absorbs, yellow reflects

Blue objects absorb yellow light, and yellow objects absorb blue light! This isn't a joke - well it is a sort of joke but it is good physics. Take yellow light away from white light, and you are left with blue light, and the other way round. For that reason yellow is sometimes called 'minus blue'.
So there isn't an easy answer.

Ok so black objects absorb all light (which is why they are black), and white objects reflect all light (which is why they are white). So the closer a colored object is to black, the more light it will absorb.

it would be a good experiment to try... set up a blue and a yellow card in front of a hot lamp at the same distance and see which gets warmer after some time.
but my guess is on blue... darker...

They are light. They don't absorb light.
