Is Black technically a colour?[edit]

How can Black be considered a colour if it is the complete absence of light? I was taught in school that Black is not a colour as it does not reflect any wavelength of light. I suppose it all comes down to the definition of the word "Colour/Color". --212.159.114.107 (talk) 22:09, 3 February 2019 (UTC)


Black is not a color. The premise of this entire article is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alec935 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

What color are your shoes? What color is the night sky? in common usage, of course black is a color, like white and gray. Please look in a dictionary. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 12:29, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

In Art, black is a medium. Devoid of light. It is not a colour. My art teacher told me that in 1984. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.117.119 (talk) 06:57, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Can someone add Shades of Grey on the category for the page Black? Dragonmaster1996 (talk) 05:24, 16 February 2018 (UTC) Dragonmaster1996 (talk) 05:24, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

@Dragonmaster1996: "Shades of gray" is already a box at the bottom of the article. Where specifically do you want to add it? Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 05:51, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 Done Per WP:CATDEF, White and Black generally define the extremes of gray-shading and White is already included in the cat Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:00, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

I'd like to request for the removal of photo3a=Supreme Court US 2009.jpg. I find it is incredibly inappropriate to include photography of government officials on a Wikipedia page describing the colour black. Politicising this page is not needed, and I'm sure another suitable photograph can be found to replace the current one promptly. Infres (talk) 01:15, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: This seems to be basically "I don't like it" - there is nothing wrong with the image, nor is any rationale given in the above statement apart from the editor considering it "incredibly inappropriate". Chaheel Riens (talk) 06:28, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Black is not a color because it does not contain wavelength 182.64.189.4 (talk) 19:42, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. NiciVampireHeart 21:15, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
