White is all the colors reflected from the object, not absorbed. You see a leaf  as green because it absorbs all the colors of the rainbow except green which is reflected. The color of an object is what it does not adsorb. Black is the product of all colors not being reflected, instead becoming one none color, black. It's science, you do know what that is.
