The world is facing a wave of hot weather, forcing people to resort to various means.
This includes lighter clothing, insulating materials, but also colors that keep the body cool.
A team of Japanese researchers , belonging to the National Institute for Environmental,
were interested in the importance of choosing the colour of a garment .
They conducted an experiment to determine which colors keep the body cool in the summer sun.
They measured how hot polo shirts in nine colors got in around five minutes.
The results showed that the surface temperature of the white polo shirt was about 30 degrees C.
In contrast, the black polo shirt was over 50 degrees C.
Thus the scientist observed a 20°C difference between the coolest and the warmest polo shirt.
So what , what color should we wear during these extreme heat days ?
The colors scientists recommend are white, yellow, gray, purple,and – surprise – red.
And the colors we should avoid are black, dark green, green, and – surprise – blue.
Oh my God,blue is one of my favorite colors.
I think,
The article was so interesting, but this experiment was conducted about 3 years ago.
However, I’ve never known these important information.
The government and related industries should have publicized more details of this experiment and use them to combat the summer heat.
