What materials absorb light and how do they do so?

Materials that absorb light typically contain pigments or dyes that are able to absorb certain wavelengths of light. When light hits these materials, the pigments or dyes absorb the light energy, causing the material to appear darker or change color. This absorption of light energy is what allows these materials to absorb light.
