Artists consider any color used in a painting (for example, and black pigment) to be a color, ignoring the laws of the visible spectrum. Since black absorbs all colors (and doesn't reflect any), they just ignore this and consider it a valid "color".

I usually consider it a color because I'm not really a science guy. I understand what you say completely but, I can see black so it's a color. lol

Isn't black supposed to be, like, not visible? If that's the case, you aren't really seeing the true black... if that makes sense...

I consider the standard black to be a color because it has to have a little white in it. Otherwise they're wouldn't be shades like grey. There is a color called super black, it was man made and is the blackest black we have so far. www.newscientist.com/article/dn3356-mini-craters-key-to-blackest-ever-black.htmlThis article will explain that, but my point is, if there is a darker black, then that must mean that a "lighter" black is rejecting a least a small amount of waves. Pure black would absorb all of it, but your everyday black is a color.

Yes, I've saw it before. But even before I saw that I knew that at least some black had to color.
And thank you.

Black is the absence of color. Or all the colors mixed together. I'm not sure. White may be all the colors mixed together(you know, white light?)
Black and White are not colors.

Oh yea i always had a problem with that, since white is all colors mixed together, why do we get like a brownish color when we mix like paint of all colors?
