White is a colour!

White is my favourite colour and it annoys me when you talk to those people that are like "Omg whites not a colour, it's just blank, it's just nothing" How can it not be a colour? It's obviously a colour.. Technically you could argue that white is sort of the lack of colour since you can never can't mix colours to create it but it's still a colour of its own? P.S I'm British so it's Colour not Color

  • White is the presence of all colors. This differs from paint, because paint is pigment. Pigments are that which absorb color; I.E. not themselves colors. What a pigment does not absorb is reflected and generally perceived. White is a number of combinations of wavelengths. These combinations are indistinguishable from one another. A pigment absorbing enough wavelengths moves the perception away from white and toward black. Therefore, black and not white is the absence of color and the presence of all pigment. White and not black is the absence of pigment and the presence of all colors.
