What we can see is the reflection of light from other objects. Certain substances act as a filter, they absorb and repel certain frequencies of the Electro-magnetic spectrum to give colour etc. When there is no light source, there is no light for objects to reflect, so we can't see them. Our eyes can see only a very small fraction of the Electromagnetic spectrum.
