    So dark stuff heat up faster than light stuff.
    If it was about the UV being reflected then critters would be more attracted to light clothes by your definition, not so?
    Unsure. A blue garment reflects more blue light than other colours that we can see. It is much closer to the UV spectrum than most of the other colours, so it would conceivably reflect more UV.

    I’m not sure it’s heat thing, there are many things warmer than your clothes in the bush on a summer day.

    Default Re: color - animals - blue. What do animals see.

    In Cape Town, I have learnt by experience that you do not wear yellow clothes in the veldt unless you don't mind bugs and midges crawling all over it. Which sucks for those that have to wear their Protea colours. I have not seen the same for those wearing blue shirts.

    But then, Cape Town is different from the rest of the country😉
