Based on the question above, the best answers for this question would be: Red The color red is what is seen when you combine tshirts that absorb light. It is red because, the hint of light colors that is coming from the shirt washes out the vision from our eyes, the color red is evident in the color since the combination of the shirts are dark and a little of light colors are still there.

Answer: indigo and red

Explanation:

1) The visible colors are listed as the seven color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

2) The colors that you see are the colors that the objects reflect, which are those that it does not absorb.

3) Since, it is told that the object absorbs violet, blue, green, yellow, and orange, it reflects indigo and red.

4) Hence, the t-shirt appear to be indigo and red (probably a combination of striped or checkered colors., isn't it?)
