Why does a yellow pencil appear yellow?
because a yellow pencil can only reflect yellow light and that yellow light is what you see from a yellow pencil.
How do colored objects look under colored lights?
If the light is or contains the colour the object it is striking, then the object will appear to be the colour it originally is. If the light is not or does not contain the colour the object it is striking, then object will appear black. This is because an object will only reflect the light that is the same colour as it, all other light is absorbed. For example: Red, yellow, magenta, and white light will make a red object appear red as they all contain red light. Blue, green and cyan light will make a red object appear black.
Does a green object only reflect green lights?
No, green can reflect other colors, although I am not sure exactly which. I think green can reflect blue and yellow.
What color does a green and orange object reflect?
An object appears a certain color to you because it reflects that color of light and absorbs other colors of light. For example, a white object appears white because it reflects all colors of visible light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). A black object appears black because it absorbs all of these colors--and as a result, none of those colors are reflected back to your eyes. Under white light, the object appears yellow-green because it reflects both yellow and green light and absorbs all other colors. (Remember, white light has all colors of visible light in it). If only green light is present, there's only green light for it to reflect--so it will appear green. If you shined yellow light on it only, it would be yellow. If you shined yellow and green light, it would appear yellow-green again. It you shined red and blue light on it, it would appear black, because it absorbs both of those colors.
What colour will a yellow object look in red light and why?
It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)
Why do a yellow bus appear yellow?
Colours appear the way they are because of light. Objects such as this bus reflect colours from light..thats why most things apear black in the dark because there is little or no light to reflect off of. Yellow objects reflect yellow while absorbing remaining colours

Does the color white reflect heat?
Because it has no color, therefore nothing to absorb. With light energy, surface colors absorb and reflect various color frequencies (electro-magnetic wavelengths). For instance, blue paint reflects higher frequency wavelengths which our eyes see, and our brains interpret, as blue values, and it absorbs lower range frequencies we would interpret as red and yellow. White surfaces reflect high quantities of all of the visible range of frequencies of electro-magnetic wavelengths, so the frequencies reflected back at the viewer contain all visible color ranges that are contained in the light hitting that surface and appear the same color.
What would a red object look like under a yellow light?
Blue appears black under a yellow light. For example if you have a blue car and you put a yellow light on it will appear black due to the absence of color. The light has nothing to reflect back.
Why is yelllow yellow?
It got sick of being mellow. Things that are the color yellow are that way because they reflect every color of light except yellow, which it absorbs. That's why things appear yellow.

What colour will a yellow object appear if only Red light is shone on it?
orange :) i think
If you shine a blue light on a blue object what color will the object turn?
The object will appear to be blue. However, the object would be indistinguishable from an object that reflects all colors of light. If yellow light were shone on an object that reflects only blue wavelengths, the object would appear to be black.
What a black object look like under a yellow light?
The reason a black object is described as "a black object" is becasuse even under white light, where every color is available, the thing absorbs all of them, and doesn't reflect any color. Illuminating it with light of only a single color isn't going to change that. It'll still appear black.
