Forums → The Tavern → Is black a colour?

Hhhhhmmmm I agree that it is argued but I would think of colors that r in a rainbow then u can combine those colors to get others but if u mix to much BLACK so it could be a color

well go here

I would consider black as a color as it is a mixture of all the other colors.

The answer to the question - "Are black and white colors?" - is one of the most debated issues about color. Ask a scientist and you'll get a reply based on physics: âBlack is not a color, white is a color.â Ask an artist or a child with crayons and you'll get another: âBlack is a color, white is not a color.â (Maybe!)

Actually, you're wrong. White is all the colors mixed together, while black is the absence of color.

Black is a shade.

Black is not a color, but a mix of all colors as one shade.

Black is a shade

It is a shade but screw that. It has it's own crayon so it's a colour.

I'm pretty sure that any scientific technicalities claim that neither black nor white are actual colors, but I still consider it to be one for obvious reasons. ^^;

Black isn't a shade! Ok? It isn't.

Why is everybody arguing about this? It's a proven scientific fact that black is the absence of light, not a color.

The answer as
A painter "yes"
A scientist "no"
