Why Do We See Different Colors in the Same Object Under Different Lights?

Imagine you have a red toy car. Under white light, it looks bright and shiny. But if you shine only blue light on it, the car seems darker, almost black! That’s because light is made of many colors, and objects reflect some colors while absorbing others. When we see an object under different lights, we’re seeing only the colors that reflect back to us, not all the colors it could show.
