The colours are determined by the wavelengths of the light. How they are perceived depends on the brain interpreting the signals from the retina.

Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Yes, visible light (the color spectrum) is a tiny range of the full range of electromagnetic waves. In the related Wikipedia link, there is a picture that shows the colors 'crammed in' to a small range of the spectrum.
Which color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the lowest energy?
Red light.
Which color of light in the visible spectrum has the highest energy?
Photons with higher energy correspond to electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency/shorter wavelength. In the visible band, the color with the highest frequency is the last one you can see on the VIOLET end of the spectrum.
What is color spectrum and how is it obtained?
The color spectrum is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The color spectrum, often referred to as 'visible light' is only part of it. It is called visible light because it is the only spectrum that we can see with our eyes (we can't see x-rays, radiowaves, etc). The colors within it come in the order of ROYGBIV : Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
What color reflects wavelengths of the visible spectrum that hit it?
The color white reflects all wavelengths of the visible spectrum. That is why it is the brightest color.
How does the color of the light bulbs determine the amount of energy of the electromagnetic waves?
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is color?
The so called visible spectrum. (from red [low frequency] to violet [high frequency].
Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Yes, visible light (the color spectrum) is a tiny range of the full range of electromagnetic waves. In the related Wikipedia link, there is a picture that shows the colors 'crammed in' to a small range of the spectrum.
Which color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the lowest energy?
Red light.
What color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and the most energy?
Red, I believe.
Why is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see called ultraviolet light?
Its not. You can't see ultraviolet. (it lies just above the visible spectrum.)
What is the color spectrum made of?
The color spectrum is made from all the wavelengths of visible light, with red at the lowest frequency and violet at the highest frequency that can be seen. Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that also includes radio and microwaves up to X-rays and gamma rays.
What color on the color spectrum is closest to an x-ray?
Ok, the electromagnetic spectrum is RadioWaves-Microwaves-Infrared-(red orange yellow green blue violet)-UltraViolet-XRay-Gamma These are part of the visible color spectrum So violet would be the answer.
Which color of light in the visible spectrum has the highest energy?
Photons with higher energy correspond to electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency/shorter wavelength. In the visible band, the color with the highest frequency is the last one you can see on the VIOLET end of the spectrum.

Do darker colors absorb more microwaves?
"Color" is a way of describing how an object interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum. This has no impact whatsoever on how it interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum. So, no, they don't.
Can humans detect visible light?
Answer is simply yes , human eyes is only sensitive to the visible light at the electromagnetic spectrum , however there is a different in wavelength and the frequency depending on the color of the visible light
