on a hundred degree day in direct sunlight black gelcoat will be very very hot. everybody has to decide this based on climate, bimini, and what you are willing to put up with, they are nice because it does not reflect into your windshield so much, like a white one can(depends on windshield shape too) I've had both black and white, black gets hotter but it's not the end of the world although the soft underarm skin might not like it on the hot sunny day.
