An object's color is comprised of the wavelengths of light that it reflects - so an orange object reflects reds and yellows while absorbing blues and greens, while a green object is the opposite.
Many objects do appear black or white when light falls on them. If they are black, it means that the object is absorbing all wavelengths of visible light and not reflecting any. If they are white, it means that they are reflecting all wavelengths of visible light and not absorbing any. The color of an object is due to the wavelengths of light that it reflects.
Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.
White. Black absorbs all colors of the light spectrum and thats why it feels hot and looks black. White objects reflect all forms of light, therefore they are cooler in sunlight. An objects color is determined by what color of light it reflects. Since white is all the colors combined, if a substance reflects all the colors then it appears white. If another substance absorbs every color except for 1 shade of red, then the substance will appear that exact shade of red that it reflects.
Assuming that the light you are shining on the object is white, then the object is also blue. Objects appear a certain color because they reflect that color to our eyes and the rest of the colors in the light are absorbed by the object.
Because the cells in the retina of your eye that produce the sensation of color are insensitive to dim light, and images in dim light are perceived by other retinal cells that are less interested in color.
White objects reflects visual "light" where as black objects absorb it. black the color is every color so it absorbs all the light(every color in the spectrum), and white is the lack of color so it reflects all the light(every color in the spectrum) that's why you get warmer when you wear black in the sun because it absorbs the sun and white reflects it.
light colours - white is bestdark colours make a room look smaller.
Our eyes have both black-and-white receptors, and color receptors. The black-and-white receptors work at low light levels; the color recepters require a higher light intensity.

White is the only color that has no color

Technically white is not a color. It's neutral. No color can be mixed with white and without changing the white into a color. Pure white is not seen in a natural environment however and so you should not hesitate to mix color into your white. Even the whitest flower is colored by the color of the light in the sky and the reflected light from nearby objects and other parts of the flower. Colors mixed with white become lighter and more neutral in hue but still retain their color. Colors that are lightened this way are called light such as Cadmium Red Light. White oil paint is made from metals that reflect light such as Titanium, Zinc, or (before it was known as a toxin) lead. If a color has a significant amount of white in it you may call it a "pastel" such as pastel blue.

There is no color that is not included in the composition of white light.
White light does not alter the color of objects that it illuminates, hence, a red car would look red, in white light. White is the combination of all colors in reference to light. A Red Car is Red because it reflects the Red Wavelengths and absorbs the others.
