why do we get darker if dark colors absorb heat

i have light skin, but can develop melanin rapidly with minimal damage or sunburn occurrences.

now if it 120f outside does this mean that your body is the same temp, i don't feel so after being exposed to such weather. Research has shown that most bodies whether light or darker can't survive past 104F because the thermoregulatory system shuts down. also consider what i call 'inorganic' or 'chemical' EMF/wavelengths highly melanated beings are receiving from computers and other man made devices which there are links to cancer and other issues in the body from those unnatural EMF. having melanin does make it easier to absorb all wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum, but not everyone with dark and lighter skin can live easily under the sun.

we have melanin in more areas than just our skin, it's in our nervous system, in our eyes, and etc and we should also ask what 'information' we obsorb in those areas. To answer your question from years ago maybe to better inform any new readers that read this.
