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.
no
since black aborbs all colors it has no color
Black does not reflect. It absorbs all colors of light.
Objects appear certain colors because they absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the light that is reflected off the object and into our eyes. Different colors are the result of different wavelengths of light being reflected.
Black is the color that really absorbs the sun. Since its dark only light colors will reflect the sun.
Colors reflect of a surface, and the other colors are absorbed, say it was a blue dress. All the other colors would be absorbed, and blue would reflect so you could see it.
In the context of color theory, black is the absence of color, while white is the presence of all colors combined. Black absorbs light and doesn't reflect any color, whereas white reflects all colors. This distinction is based on how colors are created and perceived.
A black surface absorbs all colors of light, as it does not reflect any color back to the observer. Instead, it converts the light energy into heat.
A black road does not reflect any visible light, although it may reflect radiation at invisible wavelengths, such as heat.
no color can be reflected from black because it absorbs all the light!!! but anything can be reflected off of white and all those light colors...
No, objects absorb some colors of light and reflect others. The color that an object appears to be is the color of light that it reflects. For example, a red apple looks red because it absorbs all colors of light except for red, which it reflects.
White surfaces reflect blue light the best, as they reflect all visible wavelengths of light equally. Blue surfaces also reflect blue light well, but absorb light of other wavelengths.
