Ahh, just did a lab on this! :p used an existing answer to be more accurate, though. "When white light falls on a substance, the wavelength of maximum absorbance is removed by absorption and the remaining wavelengths are reflected/transmitted to the eye to determine the color of the substance observed. The link below will show you various combinations of different reflected/transmitted colours of light." http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/light/u12l2d.cfm $\large{\color{fuchsia}{\text{SOURCE}}}$ https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101114141228AAHdx54
