How is white and black different and say it with detail?

Why are black and white not true colors?

When using pigments, as in paint, black is all the colors mixed together, and white is a lack of color. So in that sense, black can be a "true" color. If you are studying the colors in light, black is simply the absence of light, while white is the combination of all colors.


What model of color mixing creates black?

We normally think of Black as a color, but we need to understand that Black is no color at all. Black is instead absense of color, or rather absense of light. When you turn off all light in a dark room, then you see nothing. You have successfully "created" black. As for "black" objects we see, this is another aspect of exactly the same thing. The black object simply does not reflect enough light for us to distinguish it as anything but black, or lack of light. In other words, the black objects absorb as much as possible of the light shining on them.
