Most of us know that wearing black in the summer heat will make us feel hotter than wearing other colors. That’s because black doesn’t reflect much sun, meaning more of the sunlight gets absorbed and becomes heat. But did you know that dark green is almost as bad?

Scientists at Japan’s National Institute for Environmental Studies studied how hot polo shirts in nine colors got over five minutes in the sun. Their results? The color that stayed coolest was white, followed by yellow, gray, red, purple, blue, green, dark green and black.

The differences were profound. While the white and yellow shirts measured 86 degrees Fahrenheit, parts of the black and dark green shirts exceeded 113 degrees! Think about that the next time you’re deciding what to wear in the summer heat.
