the whole point is, nothing in the universe has colour - there's no such thing as 'white' or 'brown' fur or a 'red' wall.. once you remove the light source they cease to have colour as the visible perceived colour is just the remaining colours NOT absorbed by the structure of the object or paint etc.
when people talk about something having say a 'green' pigment, it doesnt mean the leaf is actualy 'green', it means the leaf cells absorb ALL colour bands EXCEPT green.
thats' what i was taught anyways.
