Because if all light is observed then nothing is reflected back to our eyes so that we can distinguish between colours.

When an object absorbs all colors, it means that it is absorbing all the wavelengths of light that fall on it and not reflecting any. This lack of reflection results in the absence of color perception in our eyes, which we interpret as black. Therefore, the object appears black because it is not reflecting any light back to our eyes.
