Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The color of an object depends on the wavelengths of light that are absorbed or reflected by the object. When white light (from the sun or a lightbulb) shines on an object, certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the molecules that make up the object and others are reflected back to our eyes. We perceive the color of the object based on the wavelengths of light that are reflected, which are interpreted by our brains as colors. Therefore, the color of an object depends on the colors of the light that illuminates it.
