A "white surface" is one that reflects all colors of light. That's why it looks white
when a white light shines on it, and that's why you call it "white". If only red light
shines on it, then it looks red.

Is red a light color?
No I would not generally say red is a light colour, but adding white to make pink or mixing it with yellow and white to make a light orange would work. A light colour is one with white in it, so unless the red is mixed with white it wouldn't be a light colour. Red is generally considered to be a very dramatic colour, so no, it is not a light colour unless mixed in one of the ways above. I hope this helped!
What colour would a white ball look like in yellow light?
Yellow as white objects reflect the whole visible light spectrum. So the white ball would reflect the yellow light.
What colour does a white ball look in red light?
It would appear to be red because it can only reflect the red light.
Is white all color?
Yes whit is a color!!!!! The answer depends whether you are asking about a white light source, or a white surface. Let's hope you are asking about a white surface, because that's a lot easier to explain. A white surface is a surface that reflects all colors of light equally. There, that was easy. A white light source is a whole other topic. It depends now, on what you mean by "white." One definition of white light would be light that contains all visible wavelengths (colors) in equal proportions (for some definition of "equal".) Another definition, would be a light source that a person would perceive as white when it is shined on a white surface. It gets tricky because a light source need not be a full-spectrum light source in order to achieve that effect. For example, most "compact fluorescent" light bulbs, although the look white to your eyes, have a spectrum that consists of three relatively narrow peaks of red, green, and blue. A white LED light, on the other hand, has a strong, narrow blue peak, and then a broad band of yellowish light.
What happens when light hits a white surface?
By calling it a "white surface", you've already described what happens. A large fraction of the light, regardless of its wavelength, reflects from the surface, and very little of it, regardless of its wavelength, is absorbed. If any of this were appreciably different, then the surface would not be white.

What colour would white shoes appear under a yellow disco light?
white shoes appear white because it reflects all 7 colours of white light when fallen on to it.Therefore if only yellow light is fallen on to this object it would give out light rays which are yellow in colour . so shoes would appear yellow.
Which is more colorful black or white?
In terms of light colour, the most colourful would be white, as it is a combination of the entire light colour spectrum. In terms of physical colour, it would be black, as it is the combination of all physical colours. In terms of them simply as colours, it would be neither as they are not considered colours, but variations of light and dark.
What colour would a white ball look like in yellow light?
Yellow as white objects reflect the whole visible light spectrum. So the white ball would reflect the yellow light.
What colour would match baby pink wall?
dark pink, light blue, light green and white
What happens when white light reflects from a white paper?
The surface will look Red, because white reflects all colours and absorb none. If you hit a red light on, say, green then that would look black because green will absorb all the red but if it was a green light then it would look green. Every colour, except white, absorbs colours except itselves.
Is Black all colors or no colors?
Black would be no colours. the way we see things, is that light bounces off a surface, and into our eyes. The colour of the surface decides the colour of the light that is bounced into our eyes, and allows us to tell what colour it is. If there either isn't any light, or nothing that bounces in our direction, then we'll see the absence of light as black.
What colour does a white ball look in red light?
