We see colours when all but a few colours of light are absorbed into the object. The colours reflected are the ones that reach our eyes.

For example, look at Sondz. He absorbs all colours except yellow, so yellow is reflected into our eyes, giving him the colour of a banana.

While white light does exist, we only see white when ALL colours are reflected into our eyes. Therefore, white is just all colours at once. (No, this doesn't work with paint. I tried.) Interesting fact - white clothing is actually cooler (temperature-wise). It reflects all the light's energy instead of absorbing it.

Black objects are ones that ABSORB every colour. Therefore, black is simply the ABSENCE of colour. Black clothes are warmer, since they absorb the most light energy.

Grey objects are when all colours are absorbed, but only partially. The more the colours are absorbed, the darker the grey will be.

Now, here's a question... how many of you actually read that whole thing?
