Absorbption of Heat

[deleted-1224321]

Why do red objects absorb less heat than blue objects if the blue being reflected means that less energy is being absorbed than the red?

It seems like the absorption of heat depends mostly on how dark or light a color is and not on the color itself. I would guess that red usually absorbs less heat because its usually lighter, but a dark red would heat up quicker than a light blue.
