What colors of white light does a blue object absorb?
Anything that is blue is absorbing all the colors except blue.The blue light is reflected to your eye and you see the object as being blue.
What is the color associated with reflection?
White. Black absorbs all colors of the light spectrum and thats why it feels hot and looks black. White objects reflect all forms of light, therefore they are cooler in sunlight. An objects color is determined by what color of light it reflects. Since white is all the colors combined, if a substance reflects all the colors then it appears white. If another substance absorbs every color except for 1 shade of red, then the substance will appear that exact shade of red that it reflects.
What colour is a white object in white light?
In summary: color preception is dependant on the wave length of light radiation impenging on certain sensitive receptor cells in the retina, which is an extention of the organic brain.The basics of how color is seen deals with the objects ability to reflect and absorb light. An object that appears green is absorbing every color of the visible spectrum except for that specific wavelength of green.For example an apple. Apples are red by the way!The light from the sun or from anywhere where light comes from, the light hits the apple! Since apples are red, all of the other color EXCEPT for red get absorbed and the color red bounces off (reflects off).cranberryhead
What gives an object its colour?
All objects absorb, reflect, and/or transmit light of specific colors. Generally, we cannot see absorbed light, but we can see reflected and transmitted light, and it is this selectivity of which colors are reflected or transmitted that give objects their color..A green sofa, for example, absorbs all colors exceptgreen, which it reflects. When white light strikes the sofa, only the green component of the white light reflects off the sofa, and so we observe that the sofa is green..Similarly, if we were to put a red filter over a traffic light, the filter will absorb all colors except red, and it will allow only red light to pass through the filter. So when that specific traffic light is energized, we see only red light..Some objects, such as glass and air, transmit all visible colors - that is, clear glass and air are transparent to all visible colors. We would categorize such items as colorless.

the same color it is in the light. objects appear the color that they are because they absorb all colors of light except the one that it appears as. it relects that color and your brain sees it as that. thus, if you have a red apple and a green light on it, it would appear to be black or just really dark. because there is no red light for it to reflect and it merely absorbs the green light. so an apple is the same color no matter what. its just the diffrent affects of light that make it seem different colors.
