What are the factors that affect the color of an object?

Answer:
White light is a mixture of many different colors that appear white to us after being processed by our eyes, there isn't any wavelength of light that is white. In 1666, Isaac Newton first proved that light created color by shining white light through a prism, which then projected the colors red, orange, blue, green, blue, and velvet onto his wall in the form of a rainbow, this is called refraction. Isaac Newton's experiment showed us that light created color. This then led me to find out why an object is the color that it is. The color of an object is based on the absorption and reflection of the colors included in light. An object is the color it is because it is reflecting that color, but absorbing all of the other colors in the Color Spectrum. For example, suppose you are wearing a green sweater. The reason your sweater is green is because it is reflecting the color green, but it is absorbing all of the other colors.
