Light bounces off or reflects off any opaque object via. an object which blocks light and does not allow light through it, and gets into our eyes.The object's reflection comes upside down on our retina, which is carried by the nerves in our eyes to the brain which corrects the image and interprets it in a nanosecond.

As for the colours, light when appears in our eye, is scattered into different visual receptors in our retina called cones and rods.The rods help us to see dull black and grey colours as well as white whereas the cones help us see colurs in blue,red and green, which mix to create compound colours.

Simply speaking, light only carries the colours to our eyes, the rest is sorted and put in place by our nerves and brain.

Are the colors of light that objects absorb the colors you see?

No, the colors you see are the colors that are reflected by the object. White light is composed of several different wavelengths of energy, these different energies correspond to different visible colors. When an object absorbs the light, it absorbs its energy, the rest of the energy is reflected from the surface. That energy is what you see in the form of photons (light). So, if an object looks blue to you, that object is absorbing red light.
