When I took the temps, we were at work, so it was after an 8 hour shift, right in the hottest part of the day. (right around 3 pm)

All we were testing was that lighter colors don't mean the car will stay cooler.

It would have been nice to use an IR camera to test both cars, and track temp changes over the course of the day, because that would also show that the glass is the largest area for heat transfer into the vehicle. Alas, we're construction workers... the only thing we use IR for is detecting leaks LOL.
