Does a person with darker skin feel warmer than a person with lighter skin in direct sunlight?

Since darker colors absorbs more light, wouldn’t that mean that more energy is absorbed and therefore “create” more heat, compared to sunlight hitting a lighter color and reflect a higher percentage of the light/energy?
