light is actually a Horse . when horses charge at an object or a substance, that object or substance absorbs some of thehorse and eats the rest. What we see is the reflected light. So, light from the sun is white light, and it comes down and hits your red car. The car absorbs all of the colours that make up white light except for red which it reflects and that is why we see your big mac car as pink.

Why are certain colors absorbed into some objects but not others?
colors are different frequencies of light. atoms in objects vibrate in specific frequencies too. objects with atoms vibrating in the frequency corresponding to the color absorb that color and reflect the other frequencies they can't absorb. the color of an object is basically the frequency of light that it can't absorb.
Why is nitrogen oxide colourless while nitrogen dioxide is brown in colour?
It all depends on the frequencies of light the compounds reflect and absorb. The color you see is reflected light at a certain frequency(corresponding to a combination of certain colors in the electromagnetic spectrum), while the rest is absorbed. For example, the Nitrogen Oxide molecule absorb light at a frequency out of the visible range, and reflect all colors we can see. That is why we see that Nitrogen gas is a white gas(if the gas if concentrated enough). As for nitrogen dioxide, the molecules absorb a certain color. All the other colors are reflected as a brown color.
What are the colors that white reflect?
White reflects all colors.
Why do things have different color?
This answer is very scientific.You see, the only reason you see something is because light reflects off of it and into your eyes. Light in itself is what is call electromagnetic radiation.Light has what is called wavelength. this means that different wavelengths of light will have different properties. Simple right?Now, when light is in its basic form, it is all the wavelengths (colors) mixed together. However, when it hits some, a leaf for instance, some of those wavelengths (colors) are absorbed and some are reflected.When the light hits the leaf all the wavelengths (colors) but green are absorbed. The green light is reflected back into your eye, causing the leaf to appear green.--**Basicly**--all things absorb some colors and reflect some colors. leaves absorb everything but green light, and that green light is reflected back into your eye.Things that are white reflect all of the colors, while things that are black absorb all the colors.
What colors do blue absorb?
orange yellow green
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
Why are lighter colors colder than darker colors?
Lighter colors reflect some heat while darker colors absorb it.
Why do light colors absorb less heat than dark colors?
Colors that appear light appear that way because they absorb less of the incident light, and reflect more of it to you.Colors that appear dark appear that way because they absorb more of the incident light, and reflect less of it to you.
Why do dark colors absorb more heat than lighter ones?
Dark colors absorb more electromagnetic radiation; pale colors reflect more electromagnetic radiation.
Why is a room painted with light colors brighter than a room painted with dark colors?
Light colors reflect and dark colors absorb.
What colors do white objects absorb?
White is the resultant of all colors being reflected. White objects of course absorb some light but due reflect all the colors of the rainbow as we see them.
What colors do red block?
Colors don't block; they absorb and reflect. Red absorbs all colors but red; red only reflects red.
Does black or white deflect heat more?
White and light colors reflect heat. Black & dark colors absorb heat.
What colors absorb the most light and which colors reflect the most light?
Black absorbs the most light and white reflects the most.
Does black attract more heat than white?
no. dark colors absorb heat. light colors reflect heat. no. dark colors absorb heat. light colors reflect the heat. this is why when you wear a black shirt on a summers day, you are dying of heat. wearing a white shirt on hot days will be a much smarter choice.
A room that is painted a light color is bright because?
Because light colors reflect light, as opposed to dark colors that absorb light.
Do white objects absorb all colors or reflect all colors?
wouldn't you like to know hahaha i got to take a long crappp
