what is the color of absence of color?

Answer 1

Technically, black is the absence of color. Color is determined by what we see reflected off of an object. For example, an orange is orange because it absorbs all other colors(light), but reflects orange back to our eyes. White is a combination of all colors being reflected off of an object. Black is THE ABSENCE OF ANY COLOR being reflected off of an object.

Answer 2

Colors are relative .They represent the power of radiation which is a function of the freqency of the moving light particles.
We see color as per the way our eyes control system was designed.
What is an abcence of color to humans is real color to a fly.The reason the fly was created to see those colors.
At night we see darkness around the stars,and we see only the stars.That does not mean that there is no light in the darkness of space.
WE see the Sun's ray passing over head at night as invisible if it was not for the moon reflecting light to our eyes.
In our Universe there is no where that radiation can hide.

Colour is caused by light being reflected from the object and reaching our eyes. Black doesn't reflect light because it absorbs all the light. A completely transparent object doesn't reflect light because light passes through it. Hence, both black and transparent are devoid of colour. Most physics lessons don't mention transparent objects in this context. They only describe opaque objects and so tell us that black is the absence of light. Complete transparency isn't quite the same as a black or a coloured object because as far as the light is concerned the object doesn't exist. (A COMPLETELY transparent object would be invisible. All transparent objects in the real world reflect some light.) Best answer: Black.

Answer 4

Depends on what you are talking about:

1. When mixing paint white is the absence of coulour and in black is supposed to be the outcome of mixing all colours together. (remark: when mixing all the primairy coulours together you get grey and not black)

2. When regarding light, white is all colour together, remember that a rainbow comes about when white light is split in the different waves that make up all the rainbowcolours (yellow, orange, red, etc.) The colour red absorbs all wavelenghts of light except red, this is then reflected back and is visible for our eyes.
Black is that the absence of colour as it absorbs all the light. That is why the colour black gets "hot". (black clothing or a black car)

Hope this clarifies it for you!

Answer 5

If you're talking pigment, it's white; if you're talking light, it's black.

Any pigment will mix to make some color; the surface remains white if there is no pigment. White light contains every color of the rainbow, though, so the absence of color would be its opposite, or black.

Answer 6

black is the absence of color. White is a combination of all the colors

Answer 7

Black is the absence of color. White is the combination of all colors.

Answer 8

The color of whatever the color is you should be painting on. If it is canvas than canvas, wood then wood, brick then brick and so on. It is basically invisibility which means you see whatever color was there before it though it still be there.
