Molecules absorb light because of what light does to their electrons. It can cause a molecule's electrons to become excited and then changes from a full shell to an anti-bonding shell depending on how much light is absorbed.

Colour does not absorb light: Rather, when light shines on objects, the colour that we see is the part of the light spectrum that is not absorbed (that is reflected) by the objects.
