It reflects all the colors then the object will be white in color.
Detailed with examples:
When this white light consisting of seven colors falls on an object, then that object absorbs all the colors of the white light except one colour, which it reflects. And it is the colour of the reflected light which determines the colour of that object. For example, a rose (or blood) appears red in sunlight because when white light falls on rose (or blood), it absorbs all the colors of white light except red colour, which it reflects. This reflected red light by rose (or blood) enters our eyes and we feel the sensation of red colour. In the same way the leaves of plants appear green in sunlight because when white light falls on leaves, they reflects green colour to our eyes and absorbs all other colors. This reflected green light enters our eyes and we feel the sensation of green colour.
