Does the melting rate of a substance vary by color?

0

Yes. If the objects are otherwise identical and exposed to light, then the color will impact the rate at which they heat up (and therefore melt if they get hot enough to melt). In general, darker colors will absorb more light and that light is converted into heat. In the dark, it wouldn’t matter what color they are.
