Color is best defined as the wavelength reflected off an object. When light hits an object, certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the material, while others are reflected. The wavelengths that are reflected determine the color we perceive that object to be. For example, a red apple appears red because it reflects the wavelengths of light that correspond to red while absorbing other wavelengths.
