You see only reflected light.

If the light source changes, then the light that bounces off any object (that you see) must also change.

Why do objects appear different colors when seen under different colored lights?

Objects appear different colors under different colored lights because of how light interacts with their surface. When illuminated by a particular color of light, objects selectively absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others. The reflected light that reaches our eyes is what gives the object its color appearance.


Why do my new glasses make things look slanted?

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.

Can objects look different in colors depending on the color of light in whch they are seen?

yes light has a effect on shapes. Object's colour tone depends on the type of light it absorbs and reflects. Blue objects look blue, because they reflect it and absorbs all other light that falls on it. Different colour will impart different appearance in terms of colour
