do you consider 'white' as a color?

Question

i don't consider white as a color because it basically reflects all light spectrums.

i would consider any color but white a color.

what about you?

just a reminder this question has nothing to do with race.

Answer 1

white and black are not colors

but obviously when others mention them i know they mean them as a color cause they probably dont know the difference

Answer 2

Yes I do. It's the sum of all wavelengths of light--so like
other perceptible shades the human eye can see, it's made of wavelengths of light. Black is not the same thing as 'darkness"--the absence of all wavelengths of light.
But the second reason I treat it as a color is because it has shades also--cream white, off white, Navajo white, snow or Alpine white.

Answer 3

No, black and white are considered values. They have no place on the color wheel. You are right, it is just a matter of light reflection.

Answer 4

Yes, I consider both black and white a color.

Answer 5

Everyone refers to it as a color but it is not a hue, it's considered a reflection in actuality. But who cares really, I still call it a color.

Answer 6

Yup....just like black....me and my younger sis had a discussion about black not being an actual colour and white also. But we decided they are both a part of the colour wheel and are infact colours.

Answer 7

A lot of people consider it as a color, but it mostly has been deemed a shade, as was black and i think grey.

Answer 8

yes, because white is the combination of all colors, and black is the oppoiste (the abesnce of color)
-Kinda weird that you point out the racist thing because since black is the absence of color and white is the combination of all colors- why did they always say colored?

Answer 9

Yes. I just painted my living room white so it wouldn't be clear. Now, clear isn't a color. LOL!

Answer 10

I don't consider white or black colors.

Because white is all colors together, and black is the absence of color.
