What happens when white light is shone onto a coloured object?

The colored object absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others. The wavelengths that are reflected determine the color that our eyes perceive. So, when white light is shone onto a colored object, the object absorbs some of the light and reflects the rest in a way that our eyes see as its specific color.
