The color black absorbs all wavelengths (colors) of visible light equally, reflecting none of them preferentially. However, no material actually absorbs all of the light that falls on it - only a black hole allows no photons to escape from within its event horizon.
A red ball would appear black in blue light because red objects absorb blue light and reflect little to no light of that wavelength. This causes the red object to not reflect any light back to our eyes, leading us to perceive it as black in blue light.
The color we perceive depends on the object's ability to absorb and reflect light. Objects that appear blue absorb most colors of light and reflect blue light. Objects that appear red absorb most colors of light except red, which is reflected. This selective absorption of light by objects causes us to perceive them as blue or red.
The saying "black is not a color" implies a certain meaning of the word "color" which has nothing to do with whether objects can appear black or not. It basically comes down to a question of semantics, which has a lot more to do with language than it does with physics. Ultimately, "don't worry about it" is probably the best answer.
The color of an object has to do with the waves of (visible) light that it reflects. When light hits an object some is absorbed and some reflects, e.g. white is white because all the colours are reflected back; black is black because none of the colours are reflected, red is red because only red reflects from the object. Plants are green because the chlorophyll reflects the colour green, making them appear green to us.
Objects appear smaller in size as they move farther away from us because our eyes perceive them as occupying a smaller portion of our field of view. This is known as the concept of "visual angle." The farther an object is, the smaller its visual angle, making it appear smaller to us.

Educator and author Booker T. Washington was depicted on commemorative half dollars issued from 1946 to 1951.
Objects appear colorful to us because they reflect or absorb different wavelengths of light. When light strikes an object, the object absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color. The color we see is determined by the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected.

DeFord Bailey was the first African American to appear on the Grand Ole Opry.
A can buoy is a floating cylindrical object in the water. They are red in British waters and green or black in US waters.

The object seems to us like we are seeing with our naked eyes and it is in front of us but it is near to objective lens which has high magnification power through which it made the size of object very big than real one.
