Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

Colors work by which parts of the light spectrum get absorbed and which get reflected. A shirt that absorbs most wavelengths, but largely reflects green, will look green.
And in that same vein, colors will appear darker, if less light is reflected in general. So, a white shirt may reflect 90+% of light, whereas a black shirt may absorb 90+% of light.
And ultimately, absorption means that the light's energy is turned into warmth. So yeah, a darker shirt heats up more in the sun.
