True. White is not a color, rather the absence of color. That being said, we have made it a color in our attempt to describe the things we look at. Painted white, white out, and things like that. After all we can't really have our president living in the absence of color house, can we? That woulb just be wierd.

In physics, a color is visible light with a specific wavelength. Black and white are notcolors because they do not have specific wavelengths. Instead, white light contains all wavelengths of visible light. Black, on the other hand, is the absence of visible light.

if white is not a color then why do we give it a name. white and red is pink, therefore without white there would be no pink and pink is a color so white therefore must have colored properties in it.

Humans can only see a very small part of the light spectrum, can you even imagine what the colours would be like through the complete spectrum ?

i just learned that plants are green (we see them having a green colour) because chlorophyl absorbs blue and red light but reflects the green light thats why parts of the plant that contain chlorophyl are green. Stay curious :)

Heartland Old Guy, it wouldn't really be that weird since we're mostly a nation of weirdos anyway, it'd be perfect!

Heartland Old Guy, Black is the absence of color. We would have to call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue “The Reflect All Colors House”.

Oriana, Wow, is it because I'm old or that I went to private Christian grade school? Regardless, I didn't understand the question or the discussion & I answered wrong, twice!

Oriana, what about plants with other colors, such as red &/or yellow? All plants aren't solid green

dini cee, the next commenter said that black was the absence of "light", not color. I have no idea myself, just commenting on you commenters

dini cee, not exactly its the culmination of color when not referring to the light spectrum. When not talking of the light spectrum black would be the appropriate answer, but if the light spectrum comes into play the answer is white.

ariola, yep! The plant is absorbing all colors but green which is being reflected; this allowed up to acknowledge the plant as being green. I love science.

It should be written “ within the LIGHT SPECTRUM, what color is made up of all the colors of the rainbow” if not light referring to the light spectrum, the answer would be black. I took color theory in college but this is a grade school question. Either way I flagged this question as an inappropriate question
