A question regarding color and sunlight. Please do not answer with links. When the sun's rays hit off of the polar bear's transparent guard hair, some of this light energy travels into the hair and gets trapped. All this bouncing light inside the guard hair causes whitish light to be given off by the hair, helping the polar bear look white and blend into its Arctic snow and ice environment.

Is this concept considered different from how color works? For eg: if flower doesn't absorb any color from light it will appear white. Or if flower absorbs all color except red. It will appear red.

If it's same as how to color works thn why white objects aren't considered transparent? Same as polar bear fur.
