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.

What color represents reflection?

there really is no color that represents reflection. All colors can be reflected. White is all the colors mixed together and black is...well...none of the colors mixed together. You can look up more on color mixtures on a color diagram or color mixture website. just in case you didnt understand the answer, its that there is no color that represents reflection. -Karen Jo Johnson


What is the color of a mirror and how does it affect the reflection of light?

The color of a mirror is typically silver or gray. The mirror's color does not affect the reflection of light because mirrors reflect light by bouncing it off their smooth surface, regardless of their color.


Is turquoise a color that is more closely associated with the color blue or the color green?

Turquoise is a color that is more closely associated with the color blue.


Can a mirror cause diffuse reflection?

Yes, a mirror can cause diffuse reflection. If the surface of the mirror is not perfectly smooth or if the incident light is scattered in different directions upon reflection, it can lead to diffuse reflection instead of the usual specular reflection associated with mirrors.


What does color have to do with reflection?

Color affects reflection by determining what wavelengths of light are absorbed and which are reflected. The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that its surface reflects. Different colors reflect different wavelengths of light, resulting in the perceived color of the object.
