Light that's absorbed is not there any more for anyone to see.
You 'see' an object by the light that's reflected from it. If you
see color, then it's the color that's NOT absorbed.

Why do you see things as certain colors?
Because colors are absorbed the color reflected of is the color we see. For example apples are red every other color is absorbed but red is reflected off the apple.
What color is reflected if you see a blue color?
Blue because all colors are absorbed except blue.
What happens to the light waves when it goes through a spectrum?
When light goes through a spectrum, the waves are split into different colors, or spectra. The colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. That way, you can distinguish what type of light or element is is by counting the number of each type of color.
Do you see the wavelengths that are reflected or absorbed by matter?
We see wavelengths that are reflected off of matter.
What determines the color of an translucent object?
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.
When you see colors what color is reflected and what color is absorbed?
Black is absorbed! White is reflected. :)
Who made colors?
Colours are made by reflected lights. When light hits an object, the color you see is being reflected, the ones you don't are being absorbed. Example: you have a blue object, blue is being reflected while the other colours are absorbed. With a colour like green, blue and yellow are reflected as the others are absorbed.

What color of light is not absorbed by plants?
green the pigments absorb every color in the light spectrum but green.

What are the colors of light of the visible spectrum?
Everything we see is reflected being we see a color but the object we see is actually every color but the one we see, being one color is reflected no matter what it be between 3500>6500 Angstrom meters being the visible spectrum, this is also the object of chromotography.

When you see the color of an object is all light being absorbed by that object except for the color being experienced?
Yes,
How do we color?
We see colors by the different wavelength that is not absorbed (or what's being reflected) by the object that we see. These objects do NOT own colors. It's the surfaces of the objects that allows things to reflect or be absorbed. Ex. When I see a red book, the other colors such as orange, yellow, green, blue etc. are being absorbed by that red book from a light source except for the color red. The reflected color(s) (in the example, the color red) is then captured or perceived by our eyes. Another perspective of "how we see colour?" is that there needs to be some form of light in order for us to see colour and without that light, we wouldn't be able to see colour, let alone see at all. A bonus: If you see white, the object reflects all the wavelength or all the colours. If you see black, the object absorbs all the wavelengths or absorbs all the colours.
When all light is reflected back all light is said to be?
White light. The colors that we see are actually the colors NOT absorbed by the object they strike: for example, if the sun's light strikes a pink triangle, it is because the triangle absorbs all the frequencies of light EXCEPT for the color pink. If the only color we see is green reflected off a car, then all wavelengths of color are absorbed except for green.
