Most everyday objects are too cold to emit their own visible light. They have color because they reflect specific wavelengths of light - red in the case of many apples, yellow in the case of a pear, etc. There's a Magic School Bus episode on this, you should watch it.
The red apple absorbs most of the colors in the white light spectrum, except for red. The red color is reflected off the surface of the apple, which is what we perceive with our eyes. This is why the apple appears red when white light strikes it.
The red light is absorbed by the red apple, while the green light is reflected. This is because the red apple appears red because it absorbs all colors of light except red, which it reflects.
An apple appears red because its skin contains pigments called anthocyanins. These pigments absorb most colors in the spectrum, except for red, which is reflected back to our eyes, giving the apple its red color.
Since the apple is green, it would absorb any light that is not the same color as the apple. In this instance, the apple would appear very dark or even black since there is no green in the red light you are shining on the apple. A popular science experiment involves a shoe box, a piece of colored plastic or glass, a few objects (such as the apple), and a flashlight. If a red apple is being used with a red filter, the apple would appear to be a bright red since the apple is also red. The red filter allows the red color being reflected off the apple to pass through. Switch the filter to a green one, and the apple appears black since the filter effectively filters out all colors except green.
The red light is reflected by the red apple because the apple absorbs all other colors except red, which it reflects back to our eyes. This is why we see the apple as red.

We see colour because the normal white light is made up different wavelengths. Objects absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. An apple, reflects the red wavelength while absorbing all the other colours and so it appears colour red. If you pass sunlight through a prism in order to generate a spectrum, and hold the apple in each of the dominating colours, you will notice the colour of the apple changing.
Because the skin of the apple absorbs all wavelengths of visible light EXCEPT red,so the red is the only one left to bounce off of the apple toward your eye.If there's no red wavelengths in the light that hits the apple, then it absorbs ALL ofthe light hitting it, and it appears black to you.

an apple is red because it was just naturally made red
The red light is reflected by the red apple because the apple absorbs all other colors except red, which it reflects back to our eyes. This is why we see the apple as red.
The Red Apple was created in 2009.
When a green apple appears black under a red light, it is because the red light does not contain wavelengths that correspond to the green color of the apple. The red light is absorbed by the apple, causing it to appear black as there is no green light being reflected off the surface to be perceived by our eyes. Each color of light corresponds to a specific wavelength, and when the light's wavelength does not match the object's color, the object will appear different.
