Answer:
Brown I guess, I mean look at the color wheel, black is across from white and you can tell gray is next to white and brown is next to black so there you have it.
Answer:
The word 'black' in the sense of a color or pigment has no opposite.
We routinely pair the color terms 'black' and 'white' in the sense of being opposite, or different, but while the concepts are indeed different, they aren't opposite, any more than are other commonly-paired words such as 'cat' and 'dog'.
To be opposites, words need to express opposing concepts. So, 'pale', or 'fair', can be the opposite of 'dark', while 'black' and 'white', like 'blonde' and 'brunette', or 'blue' and 'red', are diiferent, rather than opposing, pairs.

Are black white and gray colors?
Let's deal with a complete question. What are black, white and gray? Black is the absence of all color. White is the presence of all colors in equal amounts. Gray is made up in many ways. Each primary color and its opposite, black and white, or the combination of primary or secondary colors can make variations of gray.
What is the polar opposite of the color gray?
The polar opposite of the color gray is gray itself. Normal colors (of the spectrum: R.O.Y.G.B.I.V.) are part of the spectrum or color wheel. Therefore, they each have completely different opposite colors (the other side of the color wheel). However, the color gray is not one of the spectrum of colors. In fact, the color gray is hardly even a color at all. Gray is exactly between white and black. White is the pigmentary absence of color, while black consists of all of the elemental pigmentary colors (red, blue, and yellow). Again, black and white are not part of the color spectrum, and gray is in the middle of the two. Perfect gray has no opposite because there are only two colors on its special spectrum. For this reason, had there been some kind of color wheel based off of black and white alone, perfect black would be on, say, the top, and then perfect white would have to be on the bottom, on the center of each side (left and right), the two colors would meet at exactly the same spot, creating exactly the same color. Thus, gray has no opposite. There is no polar opposite. Grey/gray is a mixture of black and white.
