Because the pigment that the object has on it absorbs all but the specific wavelength of "light" that the object appears as (orange things absorb all but orange), so when the light reflects back to the eye, that's the color it sees.

Why are certain colors absorbed into some objects but not others?
colors are different frequencies of light. atoms in objects vibrate in specific frequencies too. objects with atoms vibrating in the frequency corresponding to the color absorb that color and reflect the other frequencies they can't absorb. the color of an object is basically the frequency of light that it can't absorb.
Which filters for lenses highlight only specific colored objects making that object stand out when surrounded by other colored objects for instance only yellow objects?
