I thought black (and all colours to a degree) absorb light rather than heat? But given that black absorbs more light (a larger band of wavelengths) - it tends to raise the energy of the object and in turn radiates this energy on a different wavelength (infrared -> heat) at a higher rate.
Not sure how that would apply in an enclosed dark space.
