I either forgot to do this, or I wasn't there, so hopefully this will raise my grade a little bit. I think this is what it's about.

Light from the sun or white light shines on an object (apple), the apple absorbs all the colors of light except for red. The apple then reflects the color red and when the light is relfected into our color-sensitive receptors, we see the red light reflecting and then know that the apple is red. Our eyes cannot see all the colors in white light, which is why it is called white light, that is why we see colors that are only reflected.

Another example would be the flag up above. The flag has white light shining on it and it is reflecting all the colors of the rainbow, but each color is absorbing all the colors, but the one that is being reflected.
