Black on black on black on black

[Centurion]

I'm a sucker for black on black cars and this must be one of the best looking ones I have seen.

Black is the only color you can get away with on this theme of a Monochromatic color scheme on a car without looking stupid.

Just a thing tough, black is not a color.
Love the Lambo.

Then please tell me what it is???

Technically speaking, black is merely the absence of the wavelengths of the visible light spectrum. So when you are in a room with no lights and everything around you appears black, it means that there are no wavelengths of visible light striking your eye as you sight at the surroundings.
Black paint is actualy an illusion. Black object usually absorb light but do not emit light. Plastics and many types of glass
are essentially "black" in the ultraviolet.
The color of an object is not actually within the object itself; rather, the color is in the light which shines upon it that ultimately becomes reflected or transmitted to our eyes.
But since black only absord, but do not emit/reflect light, bingo they apear as black.

In this context, black is a color. What you're saying makes perfect sense though, but the "color" or "absence of wave light", depends entirely upon what context you're using the word.

All of that is true. There are even those who say that black and white are shades but in the "real world" we see black as a colour.

 

[Imhotep Evil]

Scientificaly black is not a colour.
Neither is white.
It is an oxymoron.

 

[Imhotep Evil]

Actually we're see what we do not see. Since it does not reflect light, it's like standing a room half lighened, half darken.
Thus we "see" the dark side from the lighted one.

True but if you are on a date with a woman and she asks you if she should buy a black or red coloured car I doubt that giving her a lecture about black and light is suitable thing to do.

LOL ....well you did ask, Deutsch ...you should have known you would get a virtual thesis on the matter from Imhotep Evil

 

[Osnabrueck]

Of course black is a color. Whip out a Pantone® color swatch book and you'll find 10 different kinds of black.

What is this? Excruciating semantics zone?

Oh, and that Lambo looks awesome. I love it.

Oh, but I'm only but a shadow compared to some of your posts and martimbo's.

 

[SDNR]

Oh God no Osna ....you are opening a Pandora's box there.

Wikipedia ...brace yourself

LOL .....yes I do tend to ramble a bit at times ..that is a fair call IE.

PS, I was kidding IE, I always enjoy reading your well informed explanations

Pantone is only feeding on people's ignorance if they say black (= absence of color) is a color.
I'm sure their engineers/scientists would laugh at you if you'd say black is a colour.

No, I'm sure they'd laugh at people going out of their way to misconstrue a scientific factoid.

Let me ask you this - is Infra Red a color? How about UV radiation or Gamma Rays?

In the world of printing, there's several colors of black, depending upon what kind of tonal balance or depth you're trying to achieve. On paper, blacks can be warm, cool and neutral. Blacks can be "rich" by way of ink overprints, and they can be "thin."

We can oberve black, we can make things black, it's a color.

 

[Imhotep Evil]

God allmighty, I know all that.
But it's a scientifical fact that black it's not a colour.
Black, real black, is the absence of color, since it absorbs all light, thus not reflecting anything.
Haven't you learnt this at your elementary physics class, or art/painting class ?!

Easy there IE ... Osna was only pointing out that in the "consumer world" black is regarded as a colour. You are of course correct when you say that real black is the absence of colour/light ...and white is all the colours of the spectrum.

So, there's no need to get edgy with Josh ....he can be just as tenacious as you when defending his opinions ...it would be petty to keep going with this pointless argument.
