Best Answer

White light is made up of all the colors. If a paper is white, it is reflecting all the colors of light. We know that the color of an object is determined by the color(s) of light it reflects. If an object is green, for example, it reflects green light and absorbs all other colors.

It's the absence of light. An object that appears black to you is one that absorbs light of all colors, so there's no light remaining to proceed from it to your eyes.
