no colors is absorbed by a black shirt but instead it reflects all the colors in the spectrum of light while white shirt absorbs all the color in the spectrum of light.
A white shirt reflects all colors of light, because white is a combination of all colors in the visible spectrum. This means that when white light hits the shirt, all colors are reflected back equally, giving it a bright appearance.
All colors of visible light are being reflected by a white shirt when viewed in white light. White is the combination of all colors in the visible spectrum, so when white light hits the shirt, all colors are reflected back to your eyes, giving it the appearance of being white.
No colour is absorbed and all the colours get reflected. Hence it looks white. But in case of black all colours get absorbed and so it looks black.
A green t-shirt absorbs all colors in white light except for green. Green is reflected off the shirt, which is why we perceive it as green.
If light reflected from a white shirt passed through a red filter and then a green filter, the shirt would appear black. This is because red and green filters would absorb most of the colors from the white light, leaving very little to pass through. White light contains all colors of the spectrum, so when most of it is absorbed by the filters, the resulting color appears black.

When light hits a surface, some 'colors' are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected colors are the ones you see. A red shirt absorbs all light except red which the red shirt reflects. A shirt that looks white reflects all light and absorbs none. A shirt that looks black absorbs all light and reflects none. this is why a white shirt will keep you cooler on a hot day.

The red shirt reflects red light and absorbs all other colors present in white light. This is why we perceive the shirt as red when white light shines on it.
no color can be reflected from black because it absorbs all the light!!! but anything can be reflected off of white and all those light colors...
Black is absorbed! White is reflected. :)
White light is formed when all colors are reflected off an object. This is because white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
