Here's my 5mw Greenie reflection off a white wall, plainly green dot....

But here is same laser reflecting off my red wool Christmas stocking, Orange dot...

Can anyone tell me how a laser, transmitting only green light, can reflect orange?
The target isn't absorbing and reradiating the second color is it?
Every thing I've shined it at reflects green except one type of red wool and one piece of pink plastic....
Puzzled.
