It's widely accepted that black is not a color, while white is.

When white light hits an object it reflects a color. When no color is reflected, their is no wave reflection which makes black.

Well.

To me, black and white are both colors.

My Crayola box says it's so.

Well, your crayola box is .. WRONG!! NOW HOW WILL YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE KNOWING THAT?!?!

but crayola know all ._.

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).

Glad to see that some people actually know about wavelength spectrums and what they do.

A+
