Why are colors the colors they are?

[Improve]

Colors are made from the light spectrum. The more light an object reflects is dependent on its color. Black is not a colour, it absorbs all light and heat which is why it is black. White reflects all colour which is why it is white, if you like you can say white is every colour. other colours absorb or reflect different lights and so make up the millions of shades and hues inbetween white and black.
