Color is a property of something. Nothing has no properties or else it would be something, so nothing has no color.

Elementry my dear "Great man"

Colors are reflections made in our eyes , these colors are seen because objects reject these colors and therefor they reflect those light rays (looking at it with ray theory angle) into our eyes.

If all the colors are reflected we see white (from the seven colors)
If none of the colors are reflected we see black

But when there is nothing light just passes by, so until hit hits somthing and reflects back.

So "nothing" I mean nothing (no object) has it's own colors it's just light reflecting from it. (I'm refering to non luminus objets, that means I'm not talking about the sun, lights, radiation glows, etc)

So the color of nothing would be either black, or it may be seen with the color of the the nearest object...

white. because white is a spectrum of lights passing through. It is what that forms all the colours, but can also form light. light is colourless only when the sun reflects it on land.

Also, in printing wise, white is not considered a colour. it cannot be printed out.

Different colors for different nothings in different situations.

I had a mostly green dream last night. Guess where I was in the dream.

Gidget, got it. I had to say that. Translucent is truly the color of nothing, or is nothing truly the color of translusence?

black is the absence of all color, so nothing must be black.
