It will be white, because really, objects both reflect and absorb colors. For example, a red object absorbs every color aside from red, which reflects back. White absorbs no color and reflects all colors, while black absorbs them all and reflects none.

the rainbow will be reflected back

It should look white because you are seeing all the colours at once. The object would be black if all the clours were absorbed, and different colours if only some of the light spatials were absorbed.

It appears to have the color[s] of the light that it reflects. -- Red sweaters reflect red light.

-- Green grass reflects green light.

-- The fur on blond dogs reflects blond light.

-- Orange light reflects from the fruit of the same name.

-- An object that reflects no light appears black.

White. If no light/ (color) is reflected, you would see black.

I think it would look white to my eyes, like a piece of
printer paper, or a glass of milk, or a stick of chalk.

What happens when a light hit a black object?

An object appears black because it absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum. If we idealize the object to make it perfectly absorptive, it absorbs all of the white light that strikes it and reflects none. In the real world, some light is always reflected. If the object appears black or dark gray, then it reflects small amounts of all colors of the spectrum.


When white light strikes a green wall why do you see green?

White.==================2nd opinion:An object that reflects all colors appears to be the same coloras the light with which it's being illuminated, whatever that is.3rd answer.The second opinion shows a misunderstanding of light. some wavelengths are absorbed more than others, which leaves the reflected wavelengths we see.As the question specified 'all colours' then the correct answer is white.


What color light does a green object absorb?

Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.


How does the color of an object depends on the reflection and the absorption of light?

If it reflects that color of light, you're eyes will see that color being reflected by the object (when the color is being shown on the object, white light contains 'all' colors of visible light). If an object absorbs a color of light you will tend not to see it coming off of the object. Translation: objects will appear the color(s) of light that it reflects. If an object appears red, it reflects red light.


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

Actually, it depends on witch object it is. If the opaque object is brown, then that means the object absorbed most of the colors of the white light and reflects mostly the brown colors.
