We see objects in colour for two reasons.
1. The objects only reflects certain wavelengths (colours) and absorbs the rest this is due to the bonds in the object, bonds absorbed specific wavelengths of light.
2. When these reflected waves enter out eyes they hit cones at the back of our eye which translates these wave/photons of light into an image we can see.

What you see when reflected wavelengths of light reach your eyes?
it sees the color of an object or shine of light
Does the color of an object appear to be the same color as the light that it absorbs?
No. If the object absorbs that color, then there's none left to travelfrom there to your eyes, is there !The color you see is the light that the object couldn'tabsorb, so itbounced from the object to your eyes.
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 are objects the color they are?
because whatever color you see is the color the object reflects in light.
When you see the color of an object is all light being absorbed by that object except for the color being experienced?
Yes,

How do you see color objects?
you see coloured objects by the light. light makes the color of the object

Yes,
When viewing an object we see its color according to the wavelength of light that the object?
refelcts
How does the color of an object depends on the reflection and the absorption of light?
If it reflects that color of light, you're eyes will see that color being reflected by the object (when the color is being shown on the object, white light contains 'all' colors of visible light). If an object absorbs a color of light you will tend not to see it coming off of the object. Translation: objects will appear the color(s) of light that it reflects. If an object appears red, it reflects red light.
What color do you see when you are looking at an orange object through a red filter?
You will see the orange object in red-orange.
When you are looking at an opaque object the color you see is that which is?
reflected
What color can you see when you look at an opaque object?
It depends on which frequencies are reflected off the object.
What determines the color you see when you look at an opaque object?
light
