Light is a short waveform, when it hits an object and gets absorbed the waveform lengthens and this lengthening caused heat.

The color black absorbs every color of light. Or every possible waveform coming from the sun. Not including any infrared radiation that also causes heat and is kinda really important to this discussion. The suns radiation can cause the materials in our clothes to vibrate on a micro scale causing heat.
