All objects absorb, reflect, and/or transmit light of specific colors. Generally, we cannot see absorbed light, but we can see reflected and transmitted light, and it is this selectivity of which colors are reflected or transmitted that give objects their color.
.
A green sofa, for example, absorbs all colors exceptgreen, which it reflects. When white light strikes the sofa, only the green component of the white light reflects off the sofa, and so we observe that the sofa is green.
.
Similarly, if we were to put a red filter over a traffic light, the filter will absorb all colors except red, and it will allow only red light to pass through the filter. So when that specific traffic light is energized, we see only red light.
.
Some objects, such as glass and air, transmit all visible colors - that is, clear glass and air are transparent to all visible colors. We would categorize such items as colorless.

What gives an object its color?
light that is reflected is what our eyes see. light is made up of all the colours of the spectrum. each 'colour' has its own wavelength say for example a pear, which is green. we see green because the object has absorbed all the other 'colours' and has reflected only the green colour wavelength, which reaches our eye colour receptors and we see green
How do colored objects look under colored lights?
If the light is or contains the colour the object it is striking, then the object will appear to be the colour it originally is. If the light is not or does not contain the colour the object it is striking, then object will appear black. This is because an object will only reflect the light that is the same colour as it, all other light is absorbed. For example: Red, yellow, magenta, and white light will make a red object appear red as they all contain red light. Blue, green and cyan light will make a red object appear black.
What is an object called if it gives out is own light?
An object that gives out its own light is called luminous. Examples include the Sun, fireflies, and lightbulbs.
The speed of a moving object taken together with its direction of travel gives the what of an object?
The speed of a moving object taken together with its direction of travel gives the velocity of an object. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and direction of an object in motion.
What is the difference between light color and pigment color?
Light is transmitted colour, it is called additive colour. Pigment is reflected colour. They have different primary colours. When the light is reflected from something, as in paint, the three primary colours are red, yellow, and blue but for transmitted light the primary colours are red, green, blue - RGB. Computer screens and televisions use RGB colour. Red + Green gives yellow; Red + Blue gives magenta and Green + Blue gives cyan.

How does the colour of the opaque object effect the colour of the shadow?

Is color a property of an object?
Yes. The colour of an object is determined by what frequenc(y/ies) of electromagnetic wave it emits in the visible spectrum. The colour of an object is a physical property of that object.
Is it true that the color an object appears to be is the color of light that is absorbs?
NO it is not true an OBJECT appears colour because it reflect that colour
