Forums → The Tavern → Clear? Is it a color?

I would think that to be perfectly clear would be the absence of color or any light refraction. So that's impossible. But the possible clearness does have some kind of color. If it is visible it has a color.

True, But even so. No-one cant see the color when its clear. Its like looking through a clear crystal that has absolute no color in it of what so ever.

well, just as I said, perfect clearness would be the absence of color.

Clear is a physical property. It's not a color. A window is solid, but you're able to look through it, while if you had a window made out of wood, you are not able to look through it.

Common sense: In a box of crayola crayons, does it include include clear?

Well clear isn't a color, but you should try something like transparent white.

Um, I hate to derail this thread (well it's been answered so meh), but did anyone else catch this:

You are a little late to the party, Pazx. These days, we can use html on the site. The staff still haven't fixed any of the issues, nor given us the ability to edit posts or launched the beta or anything, but they gave us html.
At least I think they did. Might have been an accident, and no one has noticed yet.

Clear is not a color. It's like air or something, you can't see it, feel it.

Wow thats a strange question you should try sending the question to vsauce

the deep science of "clear"

Clear is not a color. It's like air or something, you can't see it, feel it.

as we know a thing is blue (or green or black or what you want) because the thing reflects all the colors but not blue, so glass reflects all the clors that we see but the s[ectrum has got infrared and ultraviolet too and they can be considered colors too because some animals can see them.So because clear may be infrared or ultraviolet (and very probabley it is) clear is a color or at least this is how i think.

No clear isn't a color, because it's just light coming through from the other side. Then again, nothing is really clear except for empty space. ACTUAL emptiness.
