White light is a mixture of many different colors that appear white to us after being processed by our eyes, there isn't any wavelength of light that is white. In 1666, Isaac newton first proved that light created color by shining white light through a prism, which then projected the colors red, orange, blue, green, blue, and velvet onto his wall in the form of a rainbow, this is called refraction. Isaac Newton's experiment showed us that light created color. This then led me to find out why an object is the color that it is. The color of an object is based on the absorption and reflection of the colors included in light. An object is the color it is because it is reflecting that color, but absorbing all of the other colors in the Color Spectrum. For example, suppose you are wearing a green sweater. The reason your sweater is green is because it is reflecting the color green, but it is absorbing all of the other colors.

What would happen if you shone a bright red light on a green apple?
Since the apple is green, it would absorb any light that is not the same color as the apple. In this instance, the apple would appear very dark or even black since there is no green in the red light you are shining on the apple. A popular science experiment involves a shoe box, a piece of colored plastic or glass, a few objects (such as the apple), and a flashlight. If a red apple is being used with a red filter, the apple would appear to be a bright red since the apple is also red. The red filter allows the red color being reflected off the apple to pass through. Switch the filter to a green one, and the apple appears black since the filter effectively filters out all colors except green.
Why does an apple appears red?
Most everyday objects are too cold to emit their own visible light. They have color because they reflect specific wavelengths of light - red in the case of many apples, yellow in the case of a pear, etc. There's a Magic School Bus episode on this, you should watch it.

Why does an orange look orange and and an apple look red?
The colors that we call orange or red are particular frequencies of visible light. An object that reflects mostly the light in a particular frequency will "look" that color. It is the compounds in the skins of fruits that absorb and reflect light in different frequencies, In the case of the apple, the compounds inside the skin absorb a completely different range of frequencies, and are therefore a different color.* Objects that absorb almost all colors of light appear brown or black. Those that absorb little light of any frequency appear white.
