The depends. If you talking pigment, black is basically all colors mixed together. If you talking about the light spectrum (which I assume you are), black is an absence of color.
I believe the absence of color.
I think it is mixture of all colors available
When mixing my oils I can make a deeper and richer black by mixing oxide red, prussian blue and a hint of an earth brown.
There are cool black shades and warm. (gauged by the ratio of the blue to red)
When painting a landscape in sunshine the black might be a cool black. Dog fur might be a warmer black with bluer hilights.
Black is the absence of all color. In essence, it’s not a color at all.
all answers are correct so I think this question is quite done…
White is made of 3 colours (red green blue) the other 4 are merely combinations of these
In Optics, Black is the absence of light, therefore there are no colors being reflected.
Im confused…. I thought White was the reflection of all colors and Black was the absorption of all colors.
@babirurtle36 Your sentence is nearly correct you just have to change the word colour for the word light and you’re spot on.
Colour comes from the reflection and absorption of light off a material so a red thing absorbs all the light apart of the red light which it reflects back making the object appear red.
Gah, gross. I just noticed my typo. *That, not The.
