OK I'll link the danish test, this test is done with 2 cars that are identical, except for the color of the paint:

Translation:
The conclusion is that the black car does not heat up noticeably more in the sun than the white.
So it does a little bit that you can measure, but not enough to really make a difference.
According to Christian Bahl senior researcher at DTU energy, that is because the cars are heated through the windows.
(DTU is a well recognized institution for scientific research in Denmark.)
Maybe the fact that the experiment was done when outside were only 20-22 degrees made the difference less noticeable? Otherwise I can't explain why all the other tests I've found said the difference was 5-10+ degrees.
