White light is a mixture of different colors. A red object (for example) would reflect a greater percentage of red light, and a lesser percentage of other colors, thus making the light that you see redder.
what processes produce the different colors we see in opaque objects
it depends on what kind of object is that
This applies not only to opaque objects. The basic idea is that white light is a mixture of different colors, and objects tend to reflect the different colors - the components of white light - in different proportions. For example, an object that reflects most of the red light but not much of the other colors will look red.
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
Each material reflect different the light waves.

absorption and reflection of different wavelengths of light

Different materials absorb different wavelengths of visible radiation from sources like the sun or light bulbs. The wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected as visible radiation, and the color we see depends on the wavelength of that reflected light, with a longer wavelength correlating to more reddish colors, and shorter wavelengths with more bluish colors. White objects reflect all of the visible radiation that strike them, which is why they absorb less heat than black objects, which reflect much less visible radiation.
I believe the colors are red, green, and blue.
Every thing. some objects reflect some colors(the colors that we see) and absorb all others(the ones we don't see). the colors that are reflected and blend to make all the different colors.

find ou t ur self different colors aborb different wavelengths of light ^.^
They do because of the absorption of the light from the sun!!! I think not sure
Atomic spectra
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).
