Black and White; Are they colours?

[Derek]

Black doesn't reflect any colours/light. Does that mean black isn't a colour?
White reflects all the colours/light. Does that mean white is a colour?

Very interesting question Derek! Mi just browsing before mi hit di sack and saw this. From the little I know and was taught to me many moons ago, I'll share it with you. Based on science (physics) &quot;Black&quot; is not a colour. The theorists or scientists, say that &quot;black&quot; is the absence of colour. &quot;White&quot; on the other hand, is considered to be &quot;the combination of all colours.

You can take it for what it's worth... At the time, I wondered if it was &quot;racism&quot; as the teacher was &quot;white&quot;. So much for science : ~ In regular life, &quot;Black is a colour, the best one of the lot. Why are there so many black cars these days? Based on their theories, I would say 'WHITE' is not a colour...

black is the essence of all colour, while yt or white is the lack thereof.

The reason why tou see colours is because it is reflected to your eyes.
