When dealing with light,black is the absence of all color and white is the presence of all colors. When talking about paint,dyes,etc...black is the presence of all color and white is the absence of all color...weird,huh?

Answer 7

from what I know it is not a color but the absence of color due to absence of light whic is necessary to reflect the characteristics of a certain color.

BLACK
~lacking hue and brightness; absorbing light without reflecting any of the rays composing it.
~ characterized by absence of light; enveloped in darkness: a black night.

Answer 8

black is a color, it happens to be my favorite color.

Answer 9

Black is actually every color mixed in. when we see a color, it is projected by the light that shows it as red, green, blue, etc. but in reality...it is every color BUT that (red, green, blue, etc). The only color that isnt there is the one that is projected. CRAZY, HUH

Answer 10

Black is the absence of all color.
