White light is composed of various colors, including blue. When white light strikes blue pigment, the blue pigment absorbs most colors of light except for blue, which is reflected back to our eyes, making the pigment appear blue.
Ink doesn't create its color the way paint does. Paint is opaque. Light hits the surface of the paint film, the wavelengths of light that don't correspond to the color your thing is are absorbed. Ink that isn't black is transparent. Really it is. Light passes through it and strikes the paper surface. The paper absorbs certain wavelengths of light. Then the light passes back through the ink film where the wavelengths not needed for the color of ink are absorbed. A cream-color paper will absorb different wavelengths than a blue-white paper.
First, you must understand that all color is determined by red blue and yellow light in different combinations. Any color is caused by light being reflected off the object. A red object for example reflects red light, and absorbs blue and yellow.
Yes, it is true that when light strikes a green leaf, most of the green part of the spectrum is reflected. This is because chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plants, absorbs light primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, while reflecting green light. As a result, leaves appear green to our eyes. This reflection of green light is a key characteristic of healthy green foliage.
Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light by particles in the atmosphere that are much smaller than the wavelength of the light. This scattering is responsible for the blue color of the sky during the day and the red and orange hues of sunrise and sunset. The shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue and violet, are scattered more easily by the particles in the atmosphere, leading to the sky's blue appearance.
When white light strikes a red object, the object would appear red. The object would have reflected the red light within the white light while all other colours would have been absorbed. When blue light strikes a red object, it would appear black as there is no red light in blue light as it is a primary colour. As a result, the blue light would be completely absorbed by the red object. So no light would be reflected from the object. When violet light strikes a red object, it would appear red, as violet is a combination of blue and red light. The blue light would be absorbed while the red light would be reflected. It is good to learn and revise the light spectrum and primary and secondary light colours. Primary light colours are: Red, Green and Blue Secondary light colours are: Yellow, Cyan and Violet The combinations are: Red + Green = Yellow Green + Blue = Cyan Blue + Red = Violet (or Magenta depending on how you have been taught)

Grass looks black in blue light, because blue is an opaque color and green color absorbs it
The blue surface absorbs most colors of white light except for blue, which is reflected. This reflected blue light is what we perceive with our eyes as the color blue.
A blue surface absorbs most colors of light but reflects blue light, which gives it its blue appearance. This means that the surface absorbs all colors of light except blue, which is reflected back to our eyes, making it appear blue.
Blue. That's why people call it a "blue surface" ... because any other color of light that hits it is absorbed, and never scattered or reflected to your eye.
A blue surface reflects blue light. This is because it absorbs most other colors of light in the visible spectrum and reflects only blue light back to our eyes.
This is due to the diffraction of the light.
When blue light is shone on a white surface, the surface reflects the blue light while absorbing other colors present in the light spectrum. This selective reflection results in the perception of the white color.
Under yellow light, opaque magenta will appear as a deep purple or burgundy color. The yellow light will mix with the magenta to create a darker and more subdued hue.
When green light is shined onto a blue surface the color that reflects back into your eye is a dark Greeny Brown this is because all of the other colours of the spectrum are absorbed.
An opaque object that absorbs green light would appear magenta, which is the complementary color to green. This is because the object absorbs green light and reflects red and blue wavelengths, which combine to produce magenta.
