There are basically two types of bodies in space, those that emit light, and those that reflect it. Any body which doesn't emit light reflects it. However, the amount of reflection will depend on the colour, texture, and chemical nature of the surface. Also, everything else being equal, a body further from sources of light will reflect less light than one that is closer.

Something which you might consider an exception to the above is a black hole, which absorbs all light that strikes its event horizon. However, it's debatable whether or not a black hole is really a 'body'.
