If black is a color white is a color then why is a black and white television not known as a color television?

Black and white are colors, but technically both can be the absence of color, or the total combination of colors. B&W television used shades of gray (although that might also qualify as a color).
The term "color TV" means a "full spectrum of colors" rather than simply grays.

∙ 13y agoBlack and white are not colors; black is the combination of all colors and white is the absence of color. Color television has all the colors (red, orange, etc.), while black-and-white television is just in black, white, and gray.
Correction: Black and white are not colours, they're shades. So a black and white tv is a not a colour tv.
black and white are shades. Any colour that is not in the rainbow, such as pink, black and white are in fact not colours, but shades.
