from your own article:
"Researchers have studied the heavy black robes worn by Bedouins in the desert. They say the key there is thickness. The outer layer of fabric does get hotter because the black color absorbs more heat. And that heat doesn't get transmitted to the skin because of the thick fabric."
the fact is that black is better at giving up energy (there is a reason for the skin color of native africans, besides the sunburn issue, and the cross-section shape of their scalp hairs). if there is any air movement at all, black will keep you cooler.
