All colored materials, except white-colored and black-colored materials, reflects or emits its own color of light while the other parts of the spectrum are absorbed.
White-colored and black-colored materials are exceptions because, white-colored materials reflects all the colors or all the parts of the visible spectrum because white's composition is all the colors and, black-colored materials absorb all the colors while reflecting none because black is merely the absence of any color although black is sometimes described as a color. In other words, white is composed of all the parts of the visible spectrum that is why white-colored materials reflect all the light. In the other hand, black do not reflect any color or any part of the visible spectrum but absorb all of it because black is the absence of spectral light or simply the absence of light.

Why do light colored buildings stay cooler in summer?
White (or lighter colors) reflects light while black (or darker colors) absorbs it as heat.
What is a colored material that abosrbs some colors but reflects others?
Sounds like everything you can see.
An object that reflects red light and absorbs other colors?
An object that reflects red light and absorbs GREEN COLOUR.
What colors does a blue object reflect?
a blue object reflects blue it absorbs the rest of the colors
How colors absorb heat?
well,idk how but black absorbs it while white reflects it. (so darker colors absorb and lighter reflects it.)
Why do light colurs reflect light?
The color of light a material reflects depends on its molecular structure. For example, grass reflects green light so it appears green while it absorbs the other colors.
What does the color of visible light depend on?
the color of the light it reflects and absorbs. If the object reflects red and absorbs all other colors, the object will appear red.
What material do not scatter light?
not material, but color. the color black absorbs all colors in light and reflects no light to enter your eyes. black is only visible by contrast on other things you can see.

Pigments absorb certain colors of light, and reflect others. For example, chlorophyll is the pigment in plants which absorbs red and violet light, and relects green. This is why many plants appear green.
What color does a red rose reflects and what colors does it absorb?
It nominally reflects red and nominally absorbs everything else.
If you absorb all the colors what color would you get?
If an object absorbs all the colors in white light, it reflects black.
What colour is seen when an object absorbs all colors and reflects only green?
