Black comes in two mediums: pigment and light If you mix all the paint pigments you get brown. If you mix colored light beams,you get white,thus the absence of light will give you black. Stated another way: "All the paint is black;but all the light is white"....and black absorbs light while white reflects it. Try shining a flashlight on a black surface and see what you get. Most black pigment is either carbon black or iron oxide.
