What color of light the surface does not absorb. If an object absorbs all colors except blue. We will see blue. We dont see objects, we see light bouncing off objects

This gets tricker still with different languages and cultures. Some languages identify green as a more blue color. In Japan, green is considered a shade of blue and yellow. The truth is in the eye of the beholder; how their experiences, genetic traits (color blind, V4 differences, etc.), and cultural contexts parse color.

A couple things-
External--
The length of the lightwaves that are reflected off an object and then enter the eye...
Internal--
How receptive the retinal cone-cells are...
The individual's upbringing and socialization and language skills... but I guess this one only determines the color they TELL you they're seeing...
