are there any philosophical properties behind the colors black and white?

Question

along with any scientific awnsers, to simplify are black and white colors? my view:black is not a clolor for it is void of light true black doesnt allow the light to reflect back absorbing it all and white is nutreal colour being just that nothing more than light reflecting stright back , what is the real awnser here?

Answer 1

Color be it black ,white or any is personal so it follows that whatever philosophy [ies] you read or hear about colors are given from an individual standpoint .You can aswell add to the philosophy colors generally

Answer 2

Light-wise, a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them while white object reflects all parts of light back equally.

Philosophically, Wikipedia lists the symbolic meanings of white and black:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black

But most common symbolism is white representing good and black representing evil (Black Tuesday, black magic, black market, blackhat, etc.)
