I understand the underlying basic concept of colours from my Biology/Chemistry classes. “Things” absorb some wavelengths, or emit other wavelengths (something like that).
But like, why and how? For instance, what makes a wood chair white and a wood table red? Aren’t both atom’s composition the same? How can they emit different colors at all?

Perhaps to make this more clear: sure things have different molecules, but aren’t they all atoms in the end of the day? It’s just a matter of how they are arranged, right? How come this arrangement cause colors to be emitted differently?
