When we look at a red bird, the color red is reflected. This occurs because the bird's feathers absorb all other colors of light and reflect only red wavelengths back to our eyes. As a result, we perceive the bird as red.

Why does a red fish look black in the ocean greater than water depth of 10 meters?

Has to do with reflected light, its wavelength, and how water effects it. Red light cannot travel as deep in water as green or blue. Therefor, when a red fish goes deeper the needed RED LIGHT cannot reach it and will not be reflected off the fish. SO! It looks black because it is REFLECTING no color. Thats what color is... reflected light.

Absorbed. Your red ink will look black. "Red" is a long wave-length color. "Blue" is a short one. What looks red in white light is a pigment that reflects red. It won't reflect blue, so it will look dark.
