Scientific facts that freak me out.

[Bucky Ball]

Re #1. The range (color) in  the spectrum of light which we see reflected from the object in due to the color or physical properties of the object. An object painted black reflects that  range.
SO the way you phrase #1 is misleading.

No it is not. Atoms have no color, and molecules are made of atoms. It is the arrangement of the atoms that determines what gets absorbed and what bounces back to your eye and what bounces back to your eye is what we perceive as color.

Thanks for making my point. "It is the arrangement of the atoms" IN THE OBJECT that determines what is absorbed and what is reflected. 
The physical properites of the object ARE the arrangement of the atoms of the object.
It's NOT what is in the photons. Thanks for agreeing with me, and proving yourself wrong.

"Color, in this case, refers to the different wavelengths of light in the visible light spectrum perceived by our eyes. The physical and chemical composition of matter determines which wavelength (or color) is reflected." https://science.nasa.gov/ems/03_behaviors/

"Do all photons have the same frequency?
It is fundamentally impossible for a photon to have exactly one frequency. Certain beams of light, such as laser beams, can get very close to having one frequency, but can never have exactly one frequency. Said another way, every physical beam of light has a spread of frequencies".
