Based on the very narrow part of the spectrum where the colours we humans can observe reside, technically black is not a colour and white is all the colours. But for all practical intents and purposes (and without getting mired in semantics), both can be considered colours.

Black and white are not considered colors, here is the reason why. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/43979
When using pigments, as in paint, black is all the colors mixed together, and white is a lack of color. So in that sense, black can be a "true" color. If you are studying the colors in light, black is simply the absence of light, while white is the combination of all colors.
Black, white, and gray are considered achromatic colors, as they do not contain any true color pigment. Black is the absence of color, white is a mix of all colors, and gray is a neutral color produced by mixing black and white.
Yes and no. Black is the presence of all colors and white is the absence of all colors. If something appears black it is because the surface is reflecting all colors. If is appears white it is because it is absorbing all the colors. The whole black is a color thing has been going on for so many years, but in reality both black and white are because they both absorb all colors and is the presence of colors.
Black and white are shades, not colors. In the world of color theory, black is the absence of color and white is a combination of all colors.
Black is the absence of color, while white is the presence of all colors combined. In terms of light, black is the absence of light, and white is a combination of all wavelengths of light. Therefore, black and white are not considered colors in the traditional sense but rather shades and tones.
