if black and white are colours, then IS A BLACK AND WHITE TV A COLOUR TV?

Answer 1

I don't normally star a question, however, I gave you a star because I liked your question. Why did you put it in the Jokes & riddles section? Anyway there are only three real colours i.e. magenta (red), yellow & blue from these three colours the thousands of different colours as we see it are created. Black is a mixture of all the colours; white is the absence of colour. In the old days the technology to produce colour pictures (colour separation technology) was not yet developed or too expensive to include into a TV. The picture was produced by mixing all the colours together resulting in a black & white picture. Hence they are known as black & white TVs

Answer 2

black isn't a colour and white is a blend of distinctive colorations yet colour television i imagine has in reality 3 colorations red blue abd eco-friendly ...blend of those colorations provides upward thrust to different colorations.. thats y black and white television isn't stated as colour television

Answer 3

black is lack of colours and white is combination of colours.
if you can dismentle your black and white TV, then with the physical help of your kins, your can find colours in your TV.

Answer 4

I think you are very poor not only in science but also COLOUR THEORY.
According to colour scientists:
Black is total absorption of all colours.
White is total equal reflection all colours.
Therefore your equation is wrong and whether question is asked knowingly or unknowingly is not clear
Black and white is colloquially used to mean SINGLE colour.

Answer 5

hey good & tricky question, well since ages this two coloured (black & white) television is known as "BLACK & WHITE" & since the multi coulour tv was invented later so people call it colour tv.

I gues they call it that way because it is easy to be understood generaly.

Answer 7

Black and white are not colors they are tints. To be a color it has to be able to be made from the three primary colors, red yellow and blue.

Answer 8

Good question. But, black is actually the absense of all color where as white is the combination of all color. So, combined, would it be a neutral tv??? :o)
