A material that reflects very little light and appears dark is typically referred to as "matte." Matte surfaces have a rough texture that scatters light in various directions, reducing reflections and creating a darker appearance compared to shiny or glossy surfaces.
An object that absorbs all light appears black because it absorbs all colors of light equally. An object that reflects all light appears white because it reflects all colors of light equally.
A white object will reflect the white light. (that's why we perceive the object to be white).
Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.
Yellow reflects light. It appears yellow because it reflects light in the yellow range of the spectrum and absorbs or subtracts other colors.
An object appears white because it reflects all visible light wavelengths equally. When white light (containing all visible colors) hits an object and is reflected back, the object appears white to our eyes. This is in contrast to black, which absorbs all colors and reflects very little light.

because when you look at a black object, little light reflects back to your eyes
If an object reflects the entire spectrum of light, it appears white to the human eye. This is because white light contains all the visible colors of the spectrum, and when an object reflects all these colors, it appears white.

A yellow object reflects yellow light.
No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.
The color of an object depends on the wavelengths of light that it reflects. When an object appears yellow in daylight, it reflects mostly yellow light. When illuminated with red light, which contains only red wavelengths, the object reflects primarily red light, making it appear red. When illuminated with magenta light, which contains red and blue wavelengths, the object absorbs the blue light and reflects only the red, appearing red.
An object which apears black absorbs all colours and reflects none, hence it appears black, black being the absence of colour.
A mirror reflects a lot of light, absorbs very little light, and transmits almost no light.
