Why do clouds tern black?

All clouds are white, meaning the water droplets that make up a cloud scatter light in all wavelengths so they combine to produce white light. Clouds appear dark if they are in the shadow of other clouds or, sometimes, if the top of the same cloud produces a shadow on itself. There is also a darker look to some clouds if the background color is bright sunlight, making a great contrast.
