When light falls on some object, then it absorbs all the colors of visible light spectrum except the color of the object itself which it reflects back (diffusion). So we see the color of the object .

Light must reflect or be emitted from an object and enter your eyes, where it is detected by your retina and transmitted to your brain for processing. Without light, there would be nothing for your eyes to see.

What does by the dawns early light mean?

It's a question. "Can you see [something; in this case, the flag] by the dawn's early light" means "can you see by the first light of dawn (or, by the first light of daybreak)." The first part of that question reads thus: "O! say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming" Stated in other words, what that is asking is, "Hey, in the first light of day, can you still see what we were looking at so proudly last night when the sun set?"
