Because black is not a color ... it's where there is no color at all.
At night, when the light in your room is on, everything you see has a color, and when
you turn the light off, everything is black ... no color.
When you see the colors spread out ... in a rainbow, or a picture of the visible spectrum
in a book ... one end is red, the other end is blue, and then there's black on both ends.
Black is not a color that magically appears at two different places in the rainbow. It's
the way the region appears when there is no more color.

Light itself is made up of all the colors, and so an object that appears black will absorb all the colors, while white will reflect all the colors. This is also why white cars left in the sun are cooler than black cars that are left in the sun. The reason black absorbs light is due to the nature of what light is comprised of. The color black will absorb little "packets" of light called photons.

The "color" black is not really a color. Black is the absence of light. Black objects have pigments that absorb all light and, therefore, none is reflected for us to be able to see.
