Black can be defined as the visual impression experienced in directions from which no visible light reaches the eye. (This makes a contrast with whiteness, the impression of any combination of colours of light that equally stimulates all three types of colour-sensitive visual receptors.)
Pigments that absorb light rather than reflect it back to the eye "look black". A black pigment can, however, result from a combination of several pigments that collectively absorb all colours. If appropriate proportions of three primary pigments are mixed, the result reflects so little light as to be called "black".

No, black is not a color. Black absorbs all of the colors of the light spectrum, and thus is reflected back into your eyes as black.
White and black are considered 'nuetral' colors, because both contain all of the colors, except for that they are the exact opposite. White reflects all of the colors of the light spectrum into your eyes and thus is shown as white. This is why people say that on a hot day, you should wear white because black would absorb the light and heat, and white would reflect it.

Black is the absorption of all type of light wavelenghts. So, yeah, black can be defined as "the color that's a combination of all colors, since it absorbs them all".
White, on the other side, could be defined as "the color that's a combination of all colors, since it reflects them all".
Black is the lack of any color reflection, white is the absolute reflection of them all.
That's why, with little or no light, your vision turns back to black-and-white. Those are the two most primary and basic colors. Light and darkness.

Black and white are not colors. They are used to describe varying intensities of light.
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are the 3 primary colors. Everything else comes from a mixture of these colors.
Ask someone that teaches art or someone that does theatrical lighting design.

Yes, black is a combination of all colors - white is the absence of all colors.

Because you asked this question in the Beauty and Style section, the answer would be "Yes".
Black is a pigment color (or a combination of pigment colors) added to material to change their initial hue.
If you had asked this in politics, sociology, or society and culture, I would give you an answer based on race.
If you had asked this question in science, health, or education, I would have given you an answer based on light perception, color perception, or vision.
I hope this helps.
