This belief is not accurate

Explanation:

The light wave of different frequencies or of a single frequency when reaches an object different occurrences take place. Such occurrences are - of light absorption, where an object absorbs the wavelength of light and the energy gets converted into heat; the light gets reflected by that object and it might be transmitted too.

An object looks colored because it absorbs the frequencies of a particular color and reflects it. It occurs because the material frequency of the object matches the light frequency and it is different in different object.
