Gray is indeed a color. It may not appear on the rainbow spectrum (but then, neon colors don't either, and there is no argument that they are not colors) but it certainly is a color. If you look at clouds, or swirling banks of fog over the river, you will see dozens of shades of gray. If gray were not a color, how would you represent those tones and shades?

gray is a color. It is made from white and black, and since in paint, white is the absence of color and black is all color, it has color. I don't think most people realize that in nature, all black falls into two categories, either brown black or blue black. so your gray will be a toned down version of one of these.

Light and paint are opposites. In light, white is the presence of all color, and black (darkness) is the absence of all color. In paint, white is the absence of all color, and black is the presence of all colors combined. But gray is a really "gray area", sorry.

The colors we see are lightwaves absorbed or reflected by everything around us. In nature, a rainbow is white light that is broken apart by the moisture in the air.
People discovered that white light can be broken apart using tools like prisms or this spectroscope.
The colors of the visible light spectrum are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
White light consists of all of the colors mixed together. The color of an object depends on how it absorbs and/or reflects light. If an object absorbs all of the light wavelengths, it will appear black. If it reflects all of them, it will appear white.

Since there are Color movies, and Black-and-White (gray)
movies, they are obviously two different things.

No it is a shade. The same goes for Black and White.
