White reflects light but black absorbs light hence black is a better conductor.

The phenomenon of reflection explains why a house with a white-coated roof (or white-painted walls) remains cooler in hot climates. White surfaces reflect a significant portion of the solar radiation (sunlight and heat) that falls on them, preventing the heat from being absorbed and conducted into the interior of the building.
