Help What color has the best UV protection?

The color that has the best UV protection is darker colors such as black, navy blue, and deep red because they absorb more UV radiation than lighter colors. However, the difference in UV protection between colors is minimal, and the most important factor for UV protection is the type of fabric and its UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. UPF measures how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric and reach the skin. Fabrics with a UPF rating of 50+ are considered to provide excellent protection against UV radiation. Therefore, when choosing clothing for sun protection, it is important to look for fabrics with a high UPF rating, regardless of the color.

Does UV light pass through light colored clothes?
 
Does UV light pass through light colored clothes?
Yes, UV light can pass through light colored clothes. While darker colors are generally better at absorbing UV radiation, the amount of radiation that passes through light-colored clothing depends on the type of fabric and its density. Generally, tightly woven fabrics such as denim or canvas offer more protection against UV radiation than loosely woven fabrics such as cotton t-shirts. Additionally, synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon tend to provide more UV protection than natural fabrics like cotton or linen. When it comes to choosing clothing for sun protection, it is important to look for fabrics with a high UPF rating and to wear clothing that covers as much skin as possible.
