[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7029"] Some interesting things to think about in this message thread! Guess it's scientific that darker colors absorb heat more than lighter colors. On the other perspective, is interesting to note that a lot of people in the world who live in very hot and dry and/or hot and humid climates have dark skin...but some of them in 3rd world countries wear very few clothes. Suppose heat or cold tolerance is somewhat genetic and/or bred in. To wit: I was born and raised in Texas...can tolerate the heat, even in 100 + range (even if for short period of time without cooling off). My wife was born in Minnesota...she can't take the heat here and does her work in late afternoon and evening outside (and in winter). I also have a Siberian Husky that I rescued several years ago...she has a heavy undercoat that is SLOW to shed in the summer (90% usually by late August)...she is not clipped since "experts" recommended the undercoat is insulation against heat and cold. Not sure what answer is on color and heat tolerance.... :) [email=bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com]bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
