why do different materials reflect different wavelengths? Also does this mean that everything is actually colorless and color is a function of reflecting light only?

Well ever thought about the fact that things don’t really look like anything if there is no one to see them. We are just creating images from electromagnetic waves. Its not even our eyes doing the “seeing” its our brain interpreting what our eyes detect. Same with hearing, thats why optical and audio illusions are possible.

Different material reflect some wavelengths more some less. Color is a way to interpret wavelength. Same with hearing high or low sounds thats also a way to interpret the wavelength of sound waves.
