Best Answer

If you are asking what colors of the natural light spectrum are absorbed by the color red, then the answer would be every color except red. Any surface or object that you perceive as a certain color means that every color of sunlight is being absorbed by that surface except the color or colors that you can see.

Sunlight is the combination of every conceivable or perceivable color; so in order to see an object as any one specific color means all of those other colors need to be 'stopped' or canceled out.
