This is a question to those who created such a word like ''color''.

I remember my chemistry teacher told me this once, but I forgot :P If I remember right, clear is not a color, just the absence of it.

no, clear is not a color. It is a shade.

No it isn't
Clear doesn't reflect or emit any color in the visible light spectrum. So you can't say it is.


Herowarrior300,
I see where you are trying to go with this, but this is not necessarily true. Consider a prism or crystal. It's clear whe pure, and identifiable only by it's edges. When whte light is shined through, it's broken into the color of the rainbow, and it would not do this if it werent completely clear, which means it aids in emmiting colors

However, i do not believe it to be , ahem, coloration, but rather the lack of coloration in a given area.

Basically, no, it's not a color, but a property.

well, "clear" should be more accurately be said as transparent. when thinnking of it this way, by all definition, it is not a color. It doesnt absorb, nor reflect any light.

if clear was a color it would have to be visible and clear is supposedly see-through. well if its see through its technically invisible making it atcually not anything at all

No, because clear filters light. It does not reflect it.

Interesting question.

Well I would say it isn't a color. Why? Well water is clear, and the water just reflects a color it comes close to or a color that is most present.

Think of it like this, get a clear colored crayon and draw something on paper. If nothing is there, it isn't a color.

Hmmm I guess you can call it that. Maybe it should be in a new category. I don't know. Maybe.
