When the light reflects on an object into your eye you see the objects colour. When all of the light reflects into your eye you see the colour as white. So if some of the light is absorbed into the object you see it as it being a certain colour.

There are cone cells in the eye that detect color (the other type of cells is rod cells, which are better at distinguishing light/darkness and patterns). Different colors of light excite different cone cells and cone cell clusters and these cells transmit signals to your brain, which interprets these signals as color vision.
