It is because they reflect certain wavelengths (colors) of light more readily than others. White light contains all wavelengths of light. You can see this by passing the light through a prism or by observing a rainbow. Now, if you have an object such as an orange and shine white light on it. The red and yellow will be reflected and the other colors will be absorbed. Thus, we see an orange object. Now, if you shined pure blue light on the orange it would look black, because there would be no red or yellow to reflect.
