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?

Yes, darker skin can feel warmer in the sun. It’s because dark colors absorb more light and heat than lighter colors. So, if two people, one with darker skin and one with lighter skin, are in the sun, the person with darker skin might feel warmer. But, our bodies have ways to cool us down, like sweating.
