Black absorbs light energy (electromagnetic radiation) i.e. warms us up while walking. This is not preferable.

CostasYou're assuming that everyone uses this in a situation where additional heat is bad. If you're hiking in the winter it could be most desirable. And everything 'gets hot' some things at different rates than others. Being black won't make it absorb MORE heat, just the available heat more quickly. Materials usually quickly reach equilibrium with the environment. And it's unlikely that 'conductivity' would be a factor in contributing to endothermic distributions to your body...you've already got the insulation factor of the pack itself.

outofmemoryBlack objects definitely absorb more energy in a given time when exposed to a constant IR radiation source, like the sun. It may not be an issue for you but where I live pretty much anything black can get too hot to touch very quickly in the summer sun. That said, both sizes are offered in both black and light blue, so I don't see what the problem is.
I would probably get the 35L if it had a better waistbelt suitable for transferring weight to the hips, but for me just a piece of webbing around the waist doesn't cut it in a pack that size.
