There is something that does boggle my mind at times...

Premise 1: A sun's ray contains pretty much a full spectrum of colors (even if we humans can't detect them all naturally). So it pretty much has a rainbow of colors.
Premise 2: Humans (and certain animals presumably) cannot see color of objects unless light reflects onto the object and onto our retina.
Premise 3: In regards to most objects, the color white is the reflection of all the colors, and black is the absorption of all the colors with the other colors falling within the two extremes.

Mindscrew Conclusion 1: Doesn't that technically mean that regarding the actual physical properties of any object, that they are simultaneously multiple hues of colors and that the "color" we refer to is actually the make-up of all the colors that got reflected to us. So hypothetically, an apple which we think is red is actually NOT actually red in its physical layout, but just what we call it because the reflected combination of hues that is rejected/reflected by the object comes to our eyes and we call it the color Red because that is what we perceive (and because it is easier than saying "This object possesses X degree of red, Y degree of blue and Z degree of green")?
(The above Red/Blue/Green assumes the general computer pixel-color logic of mixing hues)

Separate Question: So if a black object absorbs all colors, why can I distinctively see a black object? Is it just that I can see its absence in contrast to all the other non-black objects? Is the shade of black we see in most objects an imperfect representation of the color black that does not in fact absorb all colors?

I know my thoughts probably sound retarded, but it has been nagging me in my head sometimes and while I assume I know the basics of what is taught to me in school, I don't claim to be an expert on the subject past the very preliminary facts...
