White, black, and all colors in between are just a small portion of a larger spectrum of energy. White items are those where all visible colors are reflected by an object. So, when something looks white, that is because you are seeing all of the colors of the rainbow at once. Black is just the opposite. Black is what you see when all of the colors are absorbed. In essence, black is the absense of color, and white is the combination of all colors.

By pointing at something and asking "What's that color?" If the colors match, then you are not seeing inverted colors. This answer is WRONG! For example, if you ask "What's that color?" and point to black, but you are seeing white, the other person will answer it's black, but in your childhood you learned that the white that YOU see is called black, so you still don't know if you see inverted colors.
