Did this this late afternoon.
Two identical Home Depot buckets. One painted gloss black the othe painted gloss white.
Two 12" Brinkman turkey fryer thermometers drilled into the top of the lid of each bucket. with in 1/2degree of each other.
One hand held Commerical Electric laser infared thermometer. Forgot to photo the temps on the scanner screen will on the next run.
At 5:15pm it was 75 degree air temp.
Both buckets started the same (considering the minor gage difference)
At 5:35pm the white buckets was at 80 degrees f. The black bucket was at90 degrees. (the bb had the lower thermometer.)
The surface temp of the white bucket was 77.5 according to the scanner.
The surface temp of the black bucket was 115 degrees according to the scanner.
I will do again tommorow mid day, It will be in the mid 70's again.
