How do you make gray from the visible spectrum. The teacher in my school taught us that light reflects specific colors which is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet on an object. And the color reflected would be shown. So if only red gets reflected and the rest of the colors gets absorbed, the object would be red. So how would you see gray? This question is really confusing can someone please explain.

Gray contains all the colors just like white. It is just darker because it doesn't reflect as much light.

According to my knowledge, if an object appeared to be gray in colour, then it means that when white light (sunlight) falls on the object, it absorbs all the colours of light except gray which it reflects back and thus it appears to be gray in colour.
Don't be confused or don't think that light reflect only the colours of rainbow or light exists only in the form of these colours.
My best complements for your good doubt.
Thank You

An object that reflects all colors equally and fully is white. An object that reflects no colors is black. In between, an object that reflects all colors equally but with reduced intensity is gray.
