I already know that black absorvs heat faster than other colors, but acording 
to a worker of a automobile company, many cars have their inside in black or in 
another dark color, because although these dark colors, such as black, heat up 
faster, they cool off faster than other colors, Is what he said true?, that´s 
basically what I meant in my question.
