Light-V- Dark Clothing

[busterb]

I've work close to equator a few times and alway thought that light colors were better. Any science to back this up?
Other night, on History channel a Brit lady was walking around in Egypt in a dark paints suite. And Mr. cool on CSI Miami always has dark crap on.

I understand that some places in that zone have hi-humidity.

I've seen welders in S. La. wearing blue denim shirts in the hot summer sun, me I always wore suntans, (can't spell the K word.)
