Light receptors within the eye transmits messages to the brain,which produces the familiar sensations of color.The surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others.Note:we percieveonly the reflected colors.

Hope it helps :)

Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceiveonly the reflected colors.
