The colors that we call orange or red are particular frequencies of visible light. An object that reflects mostly the light in a particular frequency will "look" that color. It is the compounds in the skins of fruits that absorb and reflect light in different frequencies, In the case of the apple, the compounds inside the skin absorb a completely different range of frequencies, and are therefore a different color.

* Objects that absorb almost all colors of light appear brown or black. Those that absorb little light of any frequency appear white.
