So when you shine a red laser on it, more red is reflected than blue, so you see a red dot?

I think I'm starting to get it. How come though the "not perfectly blue" object only reflects the red light of the red laser pointer but not the sun?

So let's say I have a blue object, which by definition absorbs all wavelengths except blue. If I shine a red laser on it, I still see the red dot. Shouldn't it be absorbing that red wavelength though?

So I've been looking into the Law of Reflection with Specular and Diffuse Reflection. I understand that electrons have a certain vibrational frequency in objects, and if a light wave matches that, that color wouldn't be observed. My question is, what if I took a red laser pointer and shined it...
