White light is a mixture of different colors. Different materials have different surface properties; as a result, one material may reflect a larger percentage of red light, and a smaller percentage of other colors, such as blue or green light - thus, it will appear red. Another material may reflect more green light than other colors, so it will appear more green.

When one material turns into a different material with different properties?
physical properties
How different colors are discovers what colors are in each ink using chromatography?
The different substances present in the ink have different Rf values (Rf value is the ratio of the distance the dissolved material traveled to distance the solvent traveled) the different substances each have a unique or nearly unique Rf value. This occurs because each material's chemical structure has a different solubility in the solvent,used to develop the chromatography plate,. This means that some compounds easily dissolve and are carried by the solvent while others are more attracted to the chromatgraphy plate and don't budge as easily. Hope this helped. sincerely, a chem major
Which different colors are in black biro ink?
Black is a combination of all colors.
How is a prism able to break sunlight into its component colours?
Different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds in the material of the prism. This causes a refraction that spreads apart the colors.
What is painting?
To accurately answer this question I have to know the type of the paint and possibly its color.
What is wavelength of light emitting from LED?
It depends on the precise material used to make the LED. Different colors of LED emit different wavelengths.
How can two things of same material have different colours?
If you wanted to get different colors from exactly the same material, you could use it in different concentrations. For example, human skin is colored by just one pigment, which is melanin, yet it produces a wide range of colors (combined with the background pinkish white of skin and the circulatory system).
What effect does boiling the plant material on catalase activity?
it will be heavier and it will turn different colors. Also it will decrease the rate
Why do different objects appear to the naked human eye in different colors under white light or normal light condition?
