It is determined by the wavelengths of light that reach your eyes.
Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
Visual perception is a result of light being detected by your retina at the back of your eye. Light of different wavelengths determines colour. Objects that are a specific colour absorb light of certain wavelengths and reflect light at other wavelengths. So if an object is green that is because it is absorbing the red and blue light and reflecting green.
Colors are determined by the wavelengths but all wavelengths travel at the same speed. So no, colors do not affect the velocity of light.

The color that something appears is related to the wavelengths of light that it absorbs. White light contains many different wavelengths. Different objects absorb different wavelengths contained in light. The color than an object appears to our eyes is actually determined by the wavelength of light in the visible spectrum that the object does not absorb. Instead the object reflects this light back at us.
The light bounces off objects and then is delivered to your eye, and then the brain scans it. You can see color because the different wavelengths of light have different color - longer wavelengths are warm colors (red, yellow, orange, and similar colors) and shorter wavelengths are cool colors (blue, green, indigo, brown, etc).
Light, for humans "visible light" which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a relatively wide range of wavelengths. The absorption or reflection of the various wavelengths of light by objects are what define their color.
Many objects do appear black or white when light falls on them. If they are black, it means that the object is absorbing all wavelengths of visible light and not reflecting any. If they are white, it means that they are reflecting all wavelengths of visible light and not absorbing any. The color of an object is due to the wavelengths of light that it reflects.
Black objects absorb all wavelengths of visible light and are therefore dark.
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.
