White light contains all colors, as white light hits an object certain colors (ranges of wavelength and frequency) are absorbed by the object while others are reflected. The colors reflected are what are seen by our eyes, thus those colors reflected dictate the color of the object.
For example, the average green plant reflects light at frequencies of 5.76 x10^14 (green) which then is seen by our eyes and our brains then determine the object is green

Which part of the eye receives the light and determines the color?
The iris receives light and the cone cells located within the cornia determine color
What determines hair color?
Melanin determines your hair color.
What determines color order of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The colours are determined by the wavelengths of the light. How they are perceived depends on the brain interpreting the signals from the retina.

What determines the colour of an opaque object when illuminated with with white light?
The object appears to have the color of the light that it is worst at absorbing. That'sthe color of which the most light remains to be scattered and reflected to your eye.
