Black as a pigment represents "absorption of the visual spectrum."
Otherwise, black means darkness.

Black can be defined as the lack of a 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 colors. If appropriate proportions of three primary pigments are mixed, the result reflects so little light as to be called "black".
This provides two superficially opposite but actually complementary descriptions of black. Black is the lack of all colours of light, or an exhaustive combination of multiple colours of pigment.

Black is not absent of light. THE COLOR balck is all colors together. make a color wheel and spin it. black.
When light escapes a room it appears black. That is because all the colors appear as one when there is no light to induviually distinguish each one from another.

The absence of color occurs where there is no light... black is void of light and they call it a black hole or vaccum where no colors exist..
In response to janabanana's answer... WHITE IS A COMINATION OF ALL COLORS.. BLACK IS VOID OF COLORS..

you spot, the person-friendly that the human eye perceives is the electromagnetic spectrum starting from 380 to 780 nm. at the same time as a person-friendly hits an merchandise, the item regularly absorbs the fashion of the wavelength settle for for a small period that's pondered, which ends in the colour. As you will see that on the seen person-friendly spectrum, the person-friendly tiers from pink to eco-friendly , to blue, to yellow, to purple (and some in between). So, if person-friendly strikes a leaf, the leaf absorbs all the person-friendly settle for for the fairway spectrum which it reflects. for this reason, we see eco-friendly colour of the leaf. nicely, the colour white, is easily the mirrored image of all the colors off an merchandise, even if it really is paint or a T-blouse. So, in essence, white colour is the combination of all the wavelength of the seen person-friendly spectrum. the position as black colour outcomes in the absorption of all the colors of the person-friendly spectrum. submit to in innovations, besides the undeniable fact that, to have a colour, you need to have person-friendly. in the darkish, as an instance, all products are black. "DAAAHHH" - you'll say. yet, end and picture about it, all the products in the international do no longer have colour!!! Your apple isn't eco-friendly, the paper isn't white, the sky isn't blue!!! the person-friendly makes the products reflect a colour, and our eyes p.c. out the mirrored image and perceive it as a colour. thus far as "organic" is going, that yo might want to study on your human being, it is going decrease back in the heritage of the best and evil, you realize,,, that previous "chest nut". thus far as actual component of it, you could call it organic using historic component, or you could call it no longer organic in any respect because it really is "contaminated" through all the colors of the spectrum.

Your deeper question (voids and holes) is one of semantics. We use words to define concepts and meanings. They are what we agree to say they are.
After agreeing on words, we can then move on to discussions ABOUT those words. For example, the next step in this conversation would be about the nature of voids, and their properties, not just "What is it?"

Because it is what the predecessors of the theory has stated. a hole is a void thing because we look at it that way....

I'm not sure i get your question.
But a black hole in space is black because light cannot escape.

Black is not "not a color" it's a mix of all colors.
