It depends upon whether you are talking about light or not. Black is the absence of light and white light is made up of ALL colors. Look at a rainbow. A rainbow is created when water particles in the air act as millions of little prisms and break white light, (the sun) into it's component colors. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. All seven of those colors of LIGHT make up white light.
If you are talking about pigments, white would be the absence of color, but if you mix the primary colors together (Red, Blue and Yellow) you would actually get more of a muddy brown than a black.

The color your eyes see is just a function of light. Things are black because no light is reflected off them. In the case of the night sky, the black parts are empty space. Black objects absorb all the visible light so that none is reflected back into your eyes (this is why they get hotter in the sun than other colors). White objects, on the other hand, reflect the visible light.
Basically, the answer is yes. Black is the absence of any color of visible light.

No, Black is when all colors are absorbed. White is the absence of color because all colors are reflected. The colors we see are those colors that are reflected or rejected by an object. It is for this reason that if you try to grow a plant under green light it will not grow as well as in white light or other colors in the spectrum.

Black is NOT the absence of color, at least as far as hair is concerned.....For example: Black is a level 1 (the Darkest)....medium blonde is a level 6-7 and Platinum is a level 9 and sometimes 10. If you start out as a brunette your hair must go thru brown,orange,red,then blonde....that is why you need a higher volume peroxide.....
So Black is VERY much a color! I hope that helps ....

Black is the absence of color and white is the blending of all colors

Black is the absence of color while white contains all colors of the spectrum. If you think of how a prism works it separates white light into all the colors that create white. If white contains all colors and black is the opposite of white then black must not contain any color.

No. Black is the absence of light. White is the absence of color.

No, actually black is a mixture of all the colors in the spectrum and white is the absence of color.

As stated previously, no it is the presence of all colors. The absence of color would be white, unless you would consider white a color, then it would be clear. But in the case of the spectrum of color white would be the absence of color.
