You see objects because visible light( a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) is reflected off the surface of something into your eye. All different colors have a different wavelength which defines their frequency. When you see a red object, that object is absorbing all the colors except for red which is then reflected into your eye.

Can color be seen in the dark?
No, color can not be seen in the dark. The only color that can be seen in the dark is black, because it is dark. If it is not completely dark then you might be able to see the color of some objects.
How do we see luminous objects?
We can see non-luminous objects because the light reflect off the object and into our eyes that's why at night you can only see a faint out line of the objects around you
Color constancy refers to the fact that?
...objects are perceived to be the same color even if the light they reflect changes.
How do you see opaque objects?
Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, so they block the path of light. This means that we are not able to see through them. Instead, we see these objects by the light that bounces off their surfaces and enters our eyes, which allows us to perceive their shape, color, and texture.
Do periscopes allow you to see hidden objects?
No, periscopes allow you to observe objects while you are hidden.
How do you see color objects?
you see coloured objects by the light. light makes the color of the object
Why color objects s are the color they are?
The color is reflected by the light to your eyes. That is why you see color.
Why objects appear the color you see?
It appears the color of light it reflects.
Why are objects the color they are?
because whatever color you see is the color the object reflects in light.
How can we see objects and color?
You can see objects because your retina is sensitive to light and you eyeball can focus it. You can't "see" color - that's a frequency coding illusion that your brain makes up for you.
Can transparent objects can have color?
Yes, you can see a color when light of a certain wavelength reaches your eye.
Are harvester ants color blind?
Ants are not color blind. They may not be able to see colors as sharply as humans, but see the colors of objects.
Can you see the color of the objects in pinhole camera?
Yes. If you use your eye to see the picture, you will see color. If you use photogrphic paper to record the image, whether or not you see color is determined by the nature of the film -black/white or color. There is nothing in the physics of the camera that prevents you from seeing color.
Why do black objects are seen black?
The "color" black is not really a color. Black is the absence of light. Black objects have pigments that absorb all light and, therefore, none is reflected for us to be able to see.
Can color be seen in the dark?
No, color can not be seen in the dark. The only color that can be seen in the dark is black, because it is dark. If it is not completely dark then you might be able to see the color of some objects.
Why do you see objects as different colors when light is shining on them?
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
