Why black color absorb all the color but not absorb black?

Because black is not a color ... it's where there is no color at all. At night, when the light in your room is on, everything you see has a color, and when you turn the light off, everything is black ... no color. When you see the colors spread out ... in a rainbow, or a picture of the visible spectrum in a book ... one end is red, the other end is blue, and then there's black on both ends. Black is not a color that magically appears at two different places in the rainbow. It's the way the region appears when there is no more color.


What color do you see when red light is reflected on a green surface?

When red light is reflected on a green surface, you would see black. This is because red light is absorbed by the green surface, rather than being reflected back to your eyes.

You will see nothing. If there is a contrasting color behind the object, it will show up as black upon the background color.


How is an object black?

An object looks black whenever it absorbs all 7 colors of the visible spectrum. We can only see it with a color if that color is being reflected from it. Because the object absorbs all colors, it reflects none of them, so we do not see any color, and therefore we see the object as black.


Why do I see black when I close my eyes?

When you close your eyes, you see black because there is no light entering your eyes to create images for your brain to process. The absence of light causes your brain to perceive darkness, which appears as the color black.
