Lots of people say that black and white are not colours. But they are obviously colours, what else would they be? Well, what do you think, are black and white colours or not?

And where do you get your evidence where people say they're not colors?

OF COURSE THEY..>>ARE.

If they weren't colors, they'd be..flavors. I don't know .

They sure aren't colors of peoples skin.

White is all colours at once in the RGB system.

Black is all colours at once in the CMYK system.



And yes, Black and White is a colour. Arguging against that is just trying to make it less simpler for people.

Technically, white is an achromatic color, black, however, is the absence of color.

I define color as anything that has a hue. Since Black and white have no hues, I think they'd probably best be defined as tones.

blacks are lazy soulless people and whites are supreme races. anyone who's played kingdom hearts knows this.

Ansem : Take a look at this tiny place. To the heart (MAN) seeking freedom (ETHNIC CLEANSING) this island (HOUSE) is a prison surrounded by water (EQUALITY). And so this boy sought to escape from his prison. He sought a way to cross over into other worlds (TRESPASSING). And he opened his heart (NOOSE) to darkness (NEGROES).
Ansem : You see, darkness (NEGROES) is the heart's (MAN'S) true essence (MASTER RACE).
Sora : That's not true! The heart (MAN) may be weak. And sometimes it (HE) may even give in (EXCHANGE BLOWJOBS FOR HIS LIFE). But I've learned that deep down, there's a light (WHITE POWER) that never goes out!
Ansem : It is futile. The Keyblade (BURNING CROSS) alone cannot seal the door to darkness (CANNOT BURN EVERY NEGRO). Kingdom Hearts! Fill me with the power of darkness (NEGROES)...
*Kingdom Hearts' doors open with dark smoke coming out. *
Ansem : Supreme darkness (NEGROES ARE THE MASTER RACE)...
Sora : You're wrong. I know now, without a doubt. Kingdom Hearts...is light (WHITE POWER)!
*Light appeared from Kingdom Hearts doors. The lights illuminate Ansem.*
Ansem : Lights (WHITE POWER)? But why...?

I think black and white are colors, but I've heard that they weren't from somewhere. Actually, fully colorblind people can only see black and white, so does that mean that black and white technically aren't colors?

Meh. Too confusing.

I guess white is debatable, but black definitely is not a color, and can be proven with simple logic: if black absorbs all light, then nothing is reflected back to your eyes, so therefore your seeing nothing, which of course can’t have a color.

Yep, Kitten Yiffer got it right. I´ve heard/read about that before.

So they are colors.

According to different establishments they are "shades".

I personally do not see them as colours, or shades.

I see them as a pesky and annoying thread on this bored (get it? PUN!)

To me they aren't colours, because white is a mixture of all colours and black is just no colour.
Like I stated in the red/green poll. 000000 = Black = Zero red, green and blue.
FFFFFF = White = Full red, green and blue.

It's a somewhat subjective bag, really. Techically could you say they are colors, sure, but that depends on your personal definition of what color is. To a graphics artist such as myself they are very much real colors. I don't think color could exist without it. Color is just a side effect of the way light reflects off ofdifferent things. White reflects the most light. Black reflects no light. One could argue over the 'true' color of green. I used to think grass green was the color of pure green... as it is very often portrayed, as well. Turns out pure green is damn near as bright as yellow, and to GET a good grass green the light/dark value has to be around 50%.

Black, though... that's still a tough one a to classify. It doesn't necesarilly count as a shade (nor does white). White and Black are the absolute ends and beginings of color (infinite potential to either becoming any color or having once been some color). To get back on topic, I'd say Black very much counts as color. You can see it. It is not any other color. It's not a kind of dark blue. It's black. Same thing with white.

As Kitten Yiffer put it, there are diferent ways to mix colours, in RGB, it's mixed all colours togehter at the max and you get white (additive), on the paper (CMYK), you mix all colours together to get black (subtractive).

And of course, black and white are colours.

May we ask Wikipedia:

Color
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Color or colour [1] is the perception of the frequency (or wavelength) of light, and can be compared to how pitch (or a musical note) is the perception of the frequency or wavelength of sound.

[1] The spelling color is predominant in American English, while colour is used in Commonwealth English.


Hue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A hue refers to the gradation of color within the optical spectrum, or visible spectrum, of light. "Hue" may also refer to a particular color within this spectrum, as defined by its dominant wavelength, or the central tendency of its combined wavelengths. For example, a light wave with a central tendency within 565-590 nm will be yellow.

So, in conlusion, black and white are colo(u)rs.
