Does no one remember the the cube test in Physics at school (yes a long time ago) where all six sides were painted different colours and finishes.
Then you fill the metal cube with hot water and then feel which side radiates the greatest heat.
As i remember the side that radiates the most heat was the Matt black side , and i still remember the teacher saying all radiators should really be painted Matt black .
Also here is a real life experiment
I am white as a milk bottle and on a hot night whilst in bed with the wife (bear with me on this one its not to smutty, oo er missis) i feel extremely hot and if you feel my skin it is relatively cool, where as my wife who is from Indonesia and has much darker skin handles the heat much better and her skin feels warm and radiates heat just like a hot water bottle.
