Which colors of light do you see when you look at an opaque object?

You see the colors of light that are reflected off the object. The colors you see depend on the wavelengths of light that the object reflects. For example, if an object reflects green light and absorbs all other colors, you will perceive the object as green.


Why is is that you can't see a non-luminous object if there is no luminous object present?

The fact that we see things is based on LIGHT. Light from an object must come to our eyes - whether the object emits light itself, or reflects it from some other light source.
