A white object reflects most wavelengths of light that you can see with your naked eyes. Black objects absorb most of the light that hits them. So all the colors we see are the rejects from the object that the broad spectrum of light hits. Those wavelengths will be different if the back of your eye isn't like a, say, iguana.
