An object that absorbs all light appears black because it absorbs all colors of light equally. An object that reflects all light appears white because it reflects all colors of light equally.
true
In white light, the white object reflects all colors of light and absorbs very little. This is why the object appears white to our eyes.
A green object absorbs all colors of light except green. Green light is reflected by the object and that is why we perceive it as green.
An object that reflects red light and absorbs other colors appears red because it is reflecting red wavelengths and absorbing all other colors. This selective reflection of light is due to the object's specific molecular structure or pigmentation which determines how it interacts with different wavelengths of light.

Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it reflects and absorbs. An object appears a certain color because it reflects that color of light while absorbing other colors. For example, a red object appears red because it reflects red light and absorbs other colors.
An object appears black because it absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum. If we idealize the object to make it perfectly absorptive, it absorbs all of the white light that strikes it and reflects none. In the real world, some light is always reflected. If the object appears black or dark gray, then it reflects small amounts of all colors of the spectrum.
Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
Black absorbs all colors. When visible light hits an object, the object absorbs some colors and reflects others. In the case of black objects, they absorb all colors of visible light, which is why they appear black.
If an object absorbs all the colors in white light, it reflects black.
You see the colors of light that are reflected off the object. The colors you see depend on the wavelengths of light that the object reflects. For example, if an object reflects green light and absorbs all other colors, you will perceive the object as green.
