Don't think so, you're measuring the light that's falling onto an object,
not the light reflected from it. A black object will appear black because it
absorbs more of the light that's falling onto it than a white object.

Almost, anyway -- I suppose black still absorbs and white still reflects
more like, so even with an incident reading you still need to take that into
account, right?
