the wavelength of the reflected light :)
light
The object appears to have the color of the light that it is worst at absorbing. That'sthe color of which the most light remains to be scattered and reflected to your eye.
The colour of something is usually determined by the light waves reflected by it. We see what is reflected and not what is absorbed. This applies to opaque objects as well as translucent ones.
Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.
Whatever you stick the opaque object in front of.

It depends on which frequencies are reflected off the object.

the wave length of light that is absorbed by the object determines color--White refects all eye perceptible colors where as black absorbes The colour of an opaque object is determined by the wavelength of the visible spectrum that it reflects. Light is made up of 7 colours, each having a specific wavelength range. Consider an object which appears green to the eye. Actually the object is not green in colour, it only reflects the waves pertaining to green wavelength range. All other wavelength are either transmitted or absorbed. The reflected wave reaches our retina and is perceived as that colour.
When you hold the material up, transparent would be you can clearly see through it. Translucent is when you can still see through it, but everything is all misty and blurry. And opaque completely blocks the light, like a book would or a piece of steel.Highly pigmented materials would be opaque. Milky quartz is translucent. Transparent is things such as calcite, clear quartz or emerald, and most glass.

There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.
the amount of light around you
If you can't see through an object clearly it is an opaque object.
