black and white
 

Is it a color:zomg:

^ D:

Lots of debate about this. Some people involve it with science.

I personally think they're a colour.

Why wouldn't it be a color?

Because black is an absence of color while white is... all the colors?

I dunno.

But even so, I still think they are colors.

wrong way round ^

I hate counterintuitive things.

Basically, color is how your brain percieves various wavelengths of light as reflected/absorbed by an object. When an object reflects all of the radiation in the visible spectrum, your brain percieves that as being "white" while if an object absorbs all of the light it is percieved as being "black" with other colors being the result of absorbing/reflecting of the other wavelengths in varying degrees in the visible spectrum.

So, in short, yes, white is a color and black is not a color (as it is an absence of reflected spectrum).
