It all depends on which frequencies are absorbed and which ones bounce back to your eye.

What color of light would grass reflect?
Green
Why does a green t-shirt look green when viewed in white light?
White Light is made of all the colours of the spectrum (rainbow). If we look at something, say, green (like grass) it looks green to us because the chlorophyll in the leaves absorbs all the sunlight that lands on it with the exception of green light which it reflects. Therefore this green light that reflects into our eyes makes us see the grass as green. White objects, however, absorb no light and reflect all the colours back to us. As all the colours together make white light, we see the object (in your case, a T shirt) as white.
Can light travel through brick?
no if an object is OPAQUE then light can't travel through it (unless it has a hole in it)
What is it about reflected light waves that enables us to see different colors?
When white light, which contains "all colors" of light, strikes an object, that object will absorb some light and will reflect some light. The colors that are not absorbed will be reflected, and those reflected colors will make up the color of the objects. Let's look at an example. If white light strikes grass, most of the green is reflected, and the reds, oranges, yellows and blues are absorbed. That's why the grass appears green to us. The grass could be said to be a "green reflecting" material. Red reflecting materials appear red, and blue reflecting materials appear blue. Further, different combinations of reflected light allow us to see the many variations in color and in color intensity that we are able to detect.

Why is grass seen as the color green through human eyes?
The perception of color is due to the reflected light. When light falls on a blade of grass, it absorbs all the electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum, except green light, which it reflects. This reflected green light falls onto the rod cells of our iris, which perceive it as green.

The color of light a material reflects depends on its molecular structure. For example, grass reflects green light so it appears green while it absorbs the other colors.
