What do filters do?
Filters subtract colours from white light, so that only one colour of light is transmitted
Why are objects different colours?
It basically works like a filter, an orange object adsorbs all other colours except for orange, that orange light then reflects into your eye making it appear orange.
Why are objects black and white?
Black objects adsorb all colours leaving no light left and white objects reflect all colours.
