During Summer time, I will prefer the tent with the white fabric since the light colors are the bad absorber of heat so the white color will reflect back all the sunlight.

In Winter I will go with black fabric tent as black is the good absorber of heat so it will absorb all the rays falling over it and will help to keep the tent warm during winter.
