The darker a color is, the more black is mixed into the color.When you look a red apple, you see red because when light hits the apple, all the colors except for red get absorbed and only the red color is bounced back from the apple into your eyes. So you only see red coming from the apple.Black in essence is a "color" that does not reflect any light. So when you see something black you are not seeing any colored light bounce back from it; on the other hand white objects reflect all the colors back because white is a combination of all the colors of light.dark colors then, since they have more black in them than white, will absorb more colors, and lighter colors, since they have white, will reflect more.

How is color made?
Colors arent the 3 primary colors, its the 7 colors of the rainbow ROYGBIV(Red,Orange,Yellow,Green,Blue,Indigo,Violet) What happens is... well the life of all color is light, without light there is no color, cause light has all these colors (ROYGBIV) When something is red, that means that everycolor from light is being absorbed EXCEPT Red, red is being refracted or kicked out, when something is black, non are being absorbed they are all being refracted, when something is white, all the colors are being absorbed. When there is no light, there is no color, and we wont see color cause it would be to dark to see.
Why are things colored?
because say for example an apple is red the apple absorbs all other colors and reflects red so what ever color it is, is the color reflected and every other color is absorbed!
