Can the human eye visually see the color black?

black is basically the absence of light hence not a color at all.
in physics, a (hypothetical) perfectly black body cannot be seen.
the black color that we see around is perceived because light is present and the surface is able to reflect a very small amount of this light...
I hope this helps!

Black isn't a color. It's the absence of color. However, the human eye can perceive the absence of color. Example: our night perception lacks color.

Seeing in black and white is a form of colourblindness. It was previously believed that dogs are dichromats (see only B&W), but we now know that their perception of red light is deficient in comparison to normal-sighted humans.

Hi. Black (the absence of light) does not stimulate the retina.

What we perceive as black is the absence of light.

Black is not a color....it is a shade, and is in actuality the absorption of lightwaves.
