Opaque is not a color. If something is opaque, it refers to how much light cannot travel through an object. Personally, I hear it used in reference to gemstones quite a bit. For instance, gemstones that are considered opaque include turquoise, opal, jade, etc.

What process produces different colors we see in opaque objects?

What colors do you see when you look at an opaque object?

What happens to the colors of white light when it hits opaque colored surfaces?

Opaque colored surfaces absorb certain colors of white light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the reflected light that the surface does not absorb. So, if white light hits an opaque green surface, for example, the surface absorbs most colors except green, which we then see.


Why do opaque objects appear to hve different colors?

This applies not only to opaque objects. The basic idea is that white light is a mixture of different colors, and objects tend to reflect the different colors - the components of white light - in different proportions. For example, an object that reflects most of the red light but not much of the other colors will look red.


What are colors called that you can not see through?

Opaque colors are those that you cannot see through because they do not allow light to pass through them. Examples include black, white, and metallic colors.
