-- Color is a sensation that your eyes send to your brain. Different sensations
of different colors are the result of the different wavelengths of light that enter
your eye.
-- Black is not a color. It's the absence of light of any color. Light must enter your
eye in order to produce any sensation at all. If no light reaches your eye from some
direction, then you see black in that direction.
-- The way we see THINGS is by the light that illuminates the thing, bounces off
of it, and proceeds into our eyes. The color we see on the thing is the color of
light that the thing did not absorb, and bounced off of it toward our eyes.
-- If the thing absorbs all the light of all the colors that illuminate it, then there's
no light left to bounce from it into our eyes, and it appears black.
A "green sweater" is a sweater that absorbs all other colors except green.
Any light that is not absorbed, and bounces from the sweater to our eyes is
green light.
If there is any green light in the source that illuminates the sweater, then some
of it bounces off of the sweater to our eyes, and the sweater appears green.
If there is no green light in the source that illuminates the sweater, then no light
bounces from the sweater to our eyes, and the sweater appears black.

Red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than violet light. When light is absorbed by an object, the energy is converted into heat. The shorter wavelength and higher frequency of violet light means it carries more energy, but red light is absorbed more efficiently by most objects, making it appear hotter.
