If an object absorbs light of most visible frequencies (absorbs because the light's frequency matches electron's frequency), and reflects red, for example, the object appears red. (reflect because red falls below or above the electron's natural frequencies).
For example, when an object transmits only the frequency for blue light while absorbing all the other frequencies, the object will appear blue in color. Black objects absorb all the light in the visible frequency range while white color objects will reflect all of the light in the visible frequency range. However both black and white color objects absorb infrared light.
