From Jack (16)
Within the visible spectum of things, pure white reflects all "colours", & black absorbs them.
So what is "grey", a mixture of the two.
Cheers, interesting answers & thoughts ?

grey is not a colour, it is a tone, a mixture of several primary colours as well as black and white, eg you could go for slate grey which has a spot of blue in the mix or sea grey, eg red/and blue. there are over 320 tones of black alone, all being classified as a black, but in reality are shades of black. regards LF

i think it might be a shade rather than a colour, in art it's a combination of black and white, however, does it have a chroma key or colour number in science?? Not sure of that.
Great question Jack

White, violet, Indigo, Blue, Green,Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Black and Grey are colours.
Others are shades. For example, in Blue colour you have so many shades: Oxford blue, Navy blue, Sky blue, Royal blue, etc.
In these shades you can have tones: Yellow or Blue, Green or Red,
Further down you have undertones to these tones: Yellower or Bluer undertone and Greener or Redder undertones.

grey is not a colour it does not have 'chroma' in it. it is just a shade of black or white - which by the way also are not real colours
in photography they say that there are 7 shades of grey

I was taught that Grey is a shade and shades and colours are different as black and white are not colours they are shades!

Seems more of a shade than a colour.

no, its a shade: white and black aren't colours they're shades, and grey is like a combination of them both.

Grey is equal amounts of RGB between the maximum RGB (White) and minimum RGB (Black).
