When dealing with light, black is the absence of light.
When dealing with pigments, black might be considered a color...

I'm assuming your asking if Black and White are considered colours?
If that is the case the answer is NO. In art they are shades.
If you have either of the two you are devoid of any colour.

Black-and-white is a broad adjectival term used to describe a number of forms of visual technology. Most forms of visual technology start out in black and white, then slowly evolve into color as technology progresses.
"Black-and-white" as a description is also something of a misnomer, for in addition to black and white most of these media included varying shades of grey. Further, the original stock of many early photographic and film formats were in sepia, which gave a richer, more subtle shading than reproductions in plain black-and-white, although less so than color.

That depends on who you ask, if you ask the person on the street, they will likely say yes, if you ask a physicist, he/she will tell you no, they are conditions of colour, specifically black is the absence of all colour and white is the presence of all colour.

What is your question?
When you're talking about black and white as colors, it depends on whether you are talking about light or pigments.
Black is the total of all pigments added together. White is an abscence of pigment.
White is the total of all light added together. Black is an abscence of light.
I know it's confusing, especially when you factor in "clear," but that the way the world of physics is set up scientifically!

In the field of chromatography, the scientific field that studies color or lack of and related issues, white is the mix of 7 different colors (hence the rainbow which is white light divided into its components). Black is quite simply the absence of color.
However, both black and white have gained "color dignity".

No, white is the absence of color and black is a mixture of colors. They are both on opposite ends of the color spectrum.

In theory, black and white are not colors. White is the absence of all color, but it reflects all color. Black is the presence of all color and it absorbs all color.

No. Black is the absence of color and white is every color.

I believe that white is the absence of color
