Everything that you can see reflects light to some degree (that is how you see it). Just because you can't see something though doesn't mean it doesn't reflect light. It may be the object is too small or reflects too little light for you to see it, or that it reflects light not visible to the human eye (like infra-red or ultra-violet)

Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?

Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.
