White objects will reflect various wavelengths of light, and their ability to reflect ultraviolet rays is definitely better than that of black objects. However, although black absorbs heat, it is more resistant to ultraviolet rays than white.

Both black clothes and white clothes absorb heat and reflect radiant heat, but usually black objects are better heat absorbers and absorb light of various wavelengths more easily; So it may be easier to absorb the heat of ultraviolet and visible light. White objects will reflect various wavelengths of light, and their ability to reflect ultraviolet rays is definitely better than that of black objects.
