The way light bounces off the object. Each color in the spectrum has a different wavelength, not unlike each musical note frequency. White light was all wavelengths, so it has all colors. When the white light hits an object that looks red, all colors are being absorbed except red, which is what you see being reflected back to the person looking at it. Something that's black absorbs all wavelengths, that's why black cars or clothes are so much hotter in sunlight.
Technically it is the angle of the electron in orbit that leaves when it is excited by the light. Different elements from the Periodic Table have different atomic weights (numbers) and different rings of electron orbits. Each ring has a different angle of the electron that is leaving when it is excited by light, and that angle corresponds to the color of the light that you see being reflected.

What color is infinity?
Infinity is not a color as it is a concept in mathematics and physics that represents something that is unbounded or limitless. In the realm of color theory, infinity is often associated with the color black, as it is seen as the absence of color or light. However, it is important to note that this association is metaphorical and not a literal representation of infinity as a color.
What is the difference between sketching drawing and constructing a geometric figure?
when you sketch you proportion a picture of something and a sketch is always black and white. When you draw you create a picture of something without proportioning it and you usually color it . When you construct a geometric figure you use straight lines to form a closed figure :)
What is the differnce between quantitative data and qualitative data?
Quantitative data involves numbers, either measurable or countable values. Qualitative data involves something descriptive like color or shape.
What is a sentence using the word sequential?
Sequential refers to something commonly described to follow a sequence. A sentence would be something like, "I like the way the Christmas lights are sequential with the different color flashes", or "The power grid can not be turned off there, the line is sequential and if I knock out this one, they all go down".
What is split complementary color scheme?
