A "green" object is called "green" because that's the only color of light it reflects,

and it absorbs any other color. If orange light is shining on it, then there's no light

for it to reflect, and it looks black to you.

What color does a green and orange object reflect?

An object appears a certain color to you because it reflects that color of light and absorbs other colors of light. For example, a white object appears white because it reflects all colors of visible light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). A black object appears black because it absorbs all of these colors--and as a result, none of those colors are reflected back to your eyes. Under white light, the object appears yellow-green because it reflects both yellow and green light and absorbs all other colors. (Remember, white light has all colors of visible light in it). If only green light is present, there's only green light for it to reflect--so it will appear green. If you shined yellow light on it only, it would be yellow. If you shined yellow and green light, it would appear yellow-green again. It you shined red and blue light on it, it would appear black, because it absorbs both of those colors.

What colour would a cyan object be when light is shined on it?

When light is shined on a cyan object, it will appear cyan as long as the light source contains both blue and green wavelengths, which are the colors that make up cyan. If the light is white, the cyan object will reflect the blue and green light and thus still appear cyan. However, if the light is only red, the cyan object will appear black because it cannot reflect that color.


Why are oranges always orange?

"there orange"I believe it has to do with something to the effects of, they are chemically blue but the human eye registers them as orange.... There where other example given but this is the most talked about one.If anyone is curious... I found it and the answers is: Yes, oranges are really blue. The color we see any object, is the color that is not absorbed by the object. It is the color that it reflects ( in essence rejects) The color we see is not truly a part of the object, any more than an object that we see in a mirror is part of the mirror. The true color is the color the object absorbs and is the contrast of the color seen. Therefore oranges are blue (acttally bluish green :)) Grass is not green it is orange etc etc...
