Best Answer

Jet black.

Black.

ADDED BY JACOBM1198:

Actually, white is the absence of color. Many people think that black is the absence of color because they think it is the absence of light, but it isn't true. Black absorbs all light and all color, which is why it is dark and less reflective than white, which reflects all light and color. Therefore, white is the absence of color. People, please don't answer questions you don't know.

By the way, "jet black" is generally described as a shiny black color, so even if black WAS the absence of color, that would be wrong.

What color would the world be if there were no colors?

like not even black or white just no color at all wouldn't there still have to be a color?Actually we would "see nothing". Black isn't a color. Black is the absence of color, so if there was no color it would all be black. And if it were all black we would not be able to see.But what would happen if the absence of color itself wasn't there? then what? would we see all of the colors on everything? would the universe be non-existing? nobody really knows, and nobody will ever know, but what we do know about color is that we wouldn't be here if there were no color. we couldn't see anything.but i have a different question. is there a color that nobody knows about? could be. but, exactly, how would the naked eye be able to see that color? If there was an unknown color, would that color be considered the absence of color? Nobody is sure to know.


Does your shadow have color?

No. Color is the reflection of light and shadows are areas where light does not reflect off of an object. The dark area you see is the area where light, and there for color, is not present. Simply stated, a shadow does not have color. On a side note: black is not a color, it is the absence of color.
