    I dont know how succesfull you will be if you try to colour them.

    Black objects get hotter when in the sun because they dont reflect the suns heat. Light colours like white reflect the suns rays of them so they dont absorb as much heat.

    So I'm guessing that all you would do is heat up your plants more, they wouldnt be getting any more sunlight.

    See above on reflection based on color - only gravity can "attract" light by curving space.

    If you coat the leaves with something to make them darker, how will light penetrate to allow photosynthesis?
