No, green can reflect other colors, although I am not sure exactly which. I think green can reflect blue and yellow.

What colour will a green object be if only blue light was shone on it?

Black, because the blue light would be absorbed into the object's pigment and as there is no green light to reflect, the object would appear black.


What colour would a red object seem to look like if you only shined green light on it?

The object would be black, because red cannot reflect green light so no colour is reflected of the object.


Why do red object's look black in blue light?

Red and blue are primary colours therefore they do not contain any other colour. When a blue light is shone onto a red object, all the blue light is absorbed by the red object, and as no red light is being shone for the red object to reflect, no light will be reflected from it and it will appear to be black. It is important to remember that physical colours will only reflect it's light colour equivalent. All other colours are absorbed. So red will reflect red, green will reflect green, and red will absorb green and so on.


What color would a green object be if you shined an orange light on it?

A "green" object is called "green" because that's the only color of light it reflects, and it absorbs any other color. If orange light is shining on it, then there's no light for it to reflect, and it looks black to you.


Why does a green object look black in red light?

For exactly the reason that you call it a "a green object". You describe it that way because most of the time, when it's being illuminated by light of all colors, the only color that it does NOT absorb, and that remains to bounce off of the object and be seen by your eye, is the green. When there is no green light striking the object, it can't reflect any light to your eye, and it appears black.

What does green look like in yellow lights?

A green object is called "green" because that's the only color of light that it reflects to our eyes, while it absorbs any other light. If there's no green light shining on it, then there's nothing for it to reflect, and we would describe it as a "black" object under those conditions.

What colour will an object under white light appear to be if it reflects green light and absorbs the other colours?

Green because you only perceive colors of objects by the colors of light they reflect into your eye.


Why a green object appears black when viewed through a red filter?

A green object appears black when viewed through a red filter (here a red filter means red light) because green object can only reflect green color and absorb all the other colors so in the red light it will definitely appear black.


A red light and a green light source shine on a white screen a blue object is placed in front of the screen what color will it be?

black since the object is blue, it reflects only blue light thus, shining red and green lights on it will only cause the object to absorb the two colors and it will result to the appearance of the object as black


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.


Do green walls absorb green light and reflect all other light?

Its the other way around. Green walls only reflect green, and that's how we see them as green walls. My answer could change depending on what type of green it is.
