Subject: Baffling question

A student posed a question to me which I have no idea about:

>Black absorbs all colors while white
>reflects all colors. How come you can see your reflection much more
>clearer on a black surface than a white surface with the same textures
>(like pool balls)?

This is fascinating to me b/c it seems so completely illogical. Help?
