How can you see the object and its color if all light is being absorbed and no light is being reflected?

The object would appear black. If it were literally absorbing all light and reflecting no light, then you'd be able to see it by contrast with the background... unless the background were also true black, in which case you couldn't see it at all.

When you see color is it being reflected or absorbed?
Light that's absorbed is not there any more for anyone to see. You 'see' an object by the light that's reflected from it. If you see color, then it's the color that's NOT absorbed.
What happens when light strikes a substance?
It is reflected and/or absorbed depending on the color of the light and the object.
When you see the color of an object is all light being absorbed by that object except for the color being experienced?
Yes,
What color is not absorbed by chloroplast?
Green light is not absorbed by plants, but is reflected.
What happens to the colors of white light when it hits opaque colored surfaces?
any colors that are not part of the color of the object are absorbed by the object. light of the colors that do make up the color of the object are reflected back to your eyes.
When you see colors what color is reflected and what color is absorbed?
Black is absorbed! White is reflected. :)

Who made colors?
Colours are made by reflected lights. When light hits an object, the color you see is being reflected, the ones you don't are being absorbed. Example: you have a blue object, blue is being reflected while the other colours are absorbed. With a colour like green, blue and yellow are reflected as the others are absorbed.

What determines the color of opaquetranslucent and transparent object?
Its molecular composition will determine which light wavelengths are absorbed and reflected.
What color of light is not absorbed by plants?

If im wearing a orange shirt what color of light is being absorbed?

What color is not absorbed by chloroplast?

Why substance are coloured?
The color of an object is determined by its inherent properties and the light source used to illuminate it.Some colors are absorbed, some are reflected and others can pass through (if transparent). Which is which and how much - is determined by its wavelength. The reflected light is what we call the color of the object.
