- We usually view objects when they are illuminated by white light, usually sunlight or ordinary room light.
- White light is a mixture of all colors, in roughly equal proportions. White objects look white because they reflect back all the visible wavelengths of light that shine on them - so the light still looks white to us.
- Colored objects, on the other hand, reflect back only some of the wavelengths; the rest they absorb. For example, if white light shines on a red ball, the ball reflects back mostly red light, and so we see red.
- Most of the greens and blues that are part of white light are absorbed by the ball so we cannot see them.
- Likewise, a blue book is reflecting the blue part of the white light spectrum. The red and green parts are absorbed by the book.
