My friend and I are in a disagreement, please tell me what you think.

Black is the absence of color (light), white is the combination of all colors. Here's a really good explaination

Answer 2

Black is black
White is White
Primary Colors: blue red and yellow
Secondary Colors: purple, orange, and green

Black is the shade of objects that do not reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum.

Scientifically black is not a hue (color); a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them, this is sometimes confused with black being called 'a mixture of all colors' but that is not the case. Sometimes black is described as an "achromatic color"; in practice black can be considered a color, e.g., the black cat or black paint.

Answer 3

Actually, white is all of the colors put together. When white is split into a spectrum (light putting light through a prism), that is when we get different colors.

Black is the absence of color. Black and white are not even really considered colors, they're values.

Answer 4

The color sensation of black is due to complete lack of stimulation of the retina, that of white to complete stimulation. Simply, this means that black reflects no color, absorbs no color and is therefore a null color. White, on the other hand, reflects all color, refracts into all colors and is therefore composed of all colors. The infrared and ultraviolet rays, below the red (long) end of the spectrum and above the violet (short) end respectively, are invisible to the naked eye. Heat is the principal effect of the infrared rays, and chemical action that of the ultraviolet rays.

Answer 5

Actually white is all the colors put together and black is nothing put together.

Answer 6

a shade is what's pondered no longer absorbed. for this reason, white is each and every of the colors at the same time. it truly is total mirrored photograph. Black is not any shade as a results of fact that's all absorbed and no shade is pondered.

Answer 7

You have it flipped around. White is all colors - black is the absense of color. Among other things, this is why you can use a prism to derive colors from white light.

Answer 8

black is the absence of color. white is all over the colors together. that's why when you shine white light through a prism you see all the light waves broken down to individual colors.

Answer 9

You are right. White is the absence of color and black is all of the colors. My mom is an art teacher.

Answer 10

Black is the absence of color. White is the presence of all colors of the spectrum. You see white when all colors of the spectrum are absorbed, you see black when all colors of the spectrum are reflected
