Both. The darker the book's color the more light it absorbs, but if it did not reflect some light then you could not see the book.

Red and blue light will not absorb the same light. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, while blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
Blue objects appear blue because they absorb most colors of light in the visible spectrum and reflect blue light. This means that blue objects absorb the other colors of light (such as red and green) and transmit or reflect the blue light, giving them their characteristic color.
Optical storage devices are coded with areas that reflect and absorb laser light.
No, dark colors absorb more light and reflect less compared to lighter colors. Light colors reflect more light, while dark colors absorb more light, making them appear darker.
A red light shined on a red surface will be mostly reflected, as red surfaces tend to reflect red light and absorb other colors. The surface may also absorb a small amount of the light, depending on its material properties.
Opaque
true
Objects get their color from the way they absorb and reflect light. Different materials absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light, which our eyes perceive as color.
No, the color blue does not absorb light. In fact, blue objects appear blue because they reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
Yes, or it would be invisible. The material is like everything else.
In green light, a red book would appear black. Green light does not contain any red wavelengths to reflect off the red book, so it would absorb most of the green light and appear black instead.
