Black is not a color because the only reason we see any color is due to the reflection of light.
When there is no light; there is no color. Thus, black is really the absence of all colors.
White on the other hand is the presence of all colors at once.
Notice that if you were to mix paints you would not magically get white. Remember, color comes from reflection. Thus, when you see red, light is absorbed into the red object, and only red is reflected back to your eyes.

Exactly what black is depends on whether you are talking about light or paint.
When color is involved in light (for instance, in theatrical lighting), black is considered to be the absence of all light. Where there is no light, there can be no color.
In paint (or printing), black is created by mixing ALL colors. The primary colors of paint (blue, red, and yellow) or ink (cyan, magenta, and yellow) can be mixed together to create black. If you have a color ink jet printer, that's exactly what happens when you print out black type. So, because it's ALL colors, black is not considered to be a single color in paint.
