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).
The human eye sees a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum which we call visible light. Red has the lowest frequency and longest wavelength. Violet has the highest frequency and shortest wavelength. More: We assign colors to different parts of this spectrum which has a wavelength between 380 nanometers and 760 nanometers and frequency from 400 to 790 terahertz. We assign colors to different parts of this spectrum roughly as follows. Red 400 - 482 terahertz Orange 482 - 503 terahertz
