It is the reflected part of the spectrum that gives an object its color.

Does the color of an object appear to be the same color as the light that it absorbs?
No. If the object absorbs that color, then there's none left to travelfrom there to your eyes, is there !The color you see is the light that the object couldn'tabsorb, so itbounced from the object to your eyes.
How is an object black?
An object looks black whenever it absorbs all 7 colors of the visible spectrum. We can only see it with a color if that color is being reflected from it. Because the object absorbs all colors, it reflects none of them, so we do not see any color, and therefore we see the object as black.
Why does black color appear black while white color appear white?
A black object absorbs light- black is actually an ABSENCE of light. White, on the other hand, REFLECTS all colors- which, when blended, produces white.
What color light does a green object absorb?
Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
When a object has no color and light hits it what color will it be?
If it absorbs ALL the colors, then it will be white (maybe also black). If light doesn't hit the object, it will be black.
What does the color of visible light depend on?
the color of the light it reflects and absorbs. If the object reflects red and absorbs all other colors, the object will appear red.

How does a color object gets its color?
Color is produced by the reflection of lights. If you have a blue object, it is reflecting blue light and is absorbing all other colors. A white object absorbs all colors and a black object reflects all.
If you absorb all the colors what color would you get?
If an object absorbs all the colors in white light, it reflects black.
What color light does a green object absorb?

What color will reflect all colors?
The color that we see is not the color of the object in question, but the color of the light it reflects. This means that a "green object" absorbs all colors of the visible spectrum except for green light, which it reflects back to our eyes. White light is the combination of the entire visible spectrum combined. Thus a "white object" reflects all colors of light. On the opposite side of this question, a "black object" absorbs all colors of light, because "black" is the absence of color.
What color does a green and orange object reflect?
An object appears a certain color to you because it reflects that color of light and absorbs other colors of light. For example, a white object appears white because it reflects all colors of visible light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). A black object appears black because it absorbs all of these colors--and as a result, none of those colors are reflected back to your eyes. Under white light, the object appears yellow-green because it reflects both yellow and green light and absorbs all other colors. (Remember, white light has all colors of visible light in it). If only green light is present, there's only green light for it to reflect--so it will appear green. If you shined yellow light on it only, it would be yellow. If you shined yellow and green light, it would appear yellow-green again. It you shined red and blue light on it, it would appear black, because it absorbs both of those colors.
