When all incoming light is reflected, we perceive the color of the surface that is reflecting the light. For example, a red object reflects red wavelengths while absorbing others, so we see it as red. If a surface reflects all wavelengths of visible light equally, it appears white. Conversely, if it reflects no light, it appears black.
What else can I help you with?
When all light is reflected back all light is said to be?
White light. The colors that we see are actually the colors NOT absorbed by the object they strike: for example, if the sun's light strikes a pink triangle, it is because the triangle absorbs all the frequencies of light EXCEPT for the color pink. If the only color we see is green reflected off a car, then all wavelengths of color are absorbed except for green.
What color is formed when all the colors are reflected?
White light is formed when all colors are reflected off an object. This is because white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
Why does the world have color?
The world has color because objects reflect and absorb certain wavelengths of light. When light hits an object, the object absorbs some wavelengths and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color. The perception of color is a result of how our eyes and brain process these reflected light waves.
What causes the apparent colors of the objects we see?
What we perceive as color is specific wavelengths of light. Objects either emit or reflect light. Again depending on which wavelengths are either emitted or reflected is the color(s) we see. In emitted colors, a given source emits light. If all wavelengths are emitted then what we see is white. The object may emit specific wavelengths of light or it may use some sort of filter that allows only specific wavelengths to pass through and blocks all others. In reflected colors. the object or pigments of or on an object absorb all light wavelengths except certain ones. Those that are not trapped and are reflected or refracted back (as in the case of rainbows) we perceive as color(s).
What do all colors of light combined equal?
White for light source or black (actually dirty brownish) for reflected light. White

What colors are reflected from black?
no color can be reflected from black because it absorbs all the light!!! but anything can be reflected off of white and all those light colors...
How is color reflected?
Color is reflected when light strikes an object and some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected wavelengths determine the color that our eyes perceive. Objects appear white when all wavelengths are reflected, and black when all wavelengths are absorbed.
What reflected by a plant to give it a green color?
When chlorophyll absorbs light, it aborbs all colors except green. Green light is reflected as the green color seen in leaves.
When white light is reflected . what color will the object appear?
The color of the object that you see will depend on the wavelengths of light that are reflected. Objects appear a certain color because they absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others. White light contains all colors of the spectrum, so the color you see is the result of the wavelengths that are reflected by the object.
If your shirt is dyed so that it looks violet what color of light is reflected by the dye?
The dye is absorbing all colors of light except for violet, which is being reflected. This means that violet light is what we see as the color of the shirt.
Why is no color reflected from black color?
If you are talking about 'subtractive' color - like the color of your pants or a chair or a car then it is because black is the presence of all colors and the color reflected back at your eye is literally the combination of them all. It isn't that no color is reflected back - it is that all of them are and so the effect that we see, in a prism, let's say, is prevented because the light - as it reflects upon our eyes - isn't able to separate any one of the colors from the rest. In 'additive' colors - like the colors on your TV screen or on your computer monitor - black is the absence of all color and white is the presence of all color. Additive color is created with light itself. If there is no light - there is no color - and that is where you find a truly "color-free" black .
What happens when all colors are absorbed?
When all colors are absorbed by an object, it appears black to our eyes. This is because black is the absence of any reflected light. The object absorbs all incoming light, allowing no colors to be reflected back.
What color has the most color?
Technically white. Color is from wavelengths of light being reflected, and white is a reflection of all wavelengths
What color is formed when all the colors are reflected?
White light is formed when all colors are reflected off an object. This is because white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
Where does the color of the object come from in physics?
The color of an object in physics comes from the way it interacts with light. Objects absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, and the reflected wavelengths are what determine the color we perceive. The color we see is the result of our eyes detecting those reflected wavelengths.
What color shows that all light is being absorbed and none is being reflected?
Black
