Colored material that absorbs some colors but reflects others?

All colored materials, except white-colored and black-colored materials, reflects or emits its own color of light while the other parts of the spectrum are absorbed. White-colored and black-colored materials are exceptions because, white-colored materials reflects all the colors or all the parts of the visible spectrum because white's composition is all the colors and, black-colored materials absorb all the colors while reflecting none because black is merely the absence of any color although black is sometimes described as a color. In other words, white is composed of all the parts of the visible spectrum that is why white-colored materials reflect all the light. In the other hand, black do not reflect any color or any part of the visible spectrum but absorb all of it because black is the absence of spectral light or simply the absence of light.
