because they are shades. they have different gradients, white, gray, black, they all can melt into each other, but be very different. Also, since black and white photos were that way, they got darker in shades.

It's merely vocabulary, which some mistake for science. Black is the absence of light and color, white is a mix of all colors. If Black and White were called colors the universe would be no different.

If your talking about people then no. There's no pure black and pure white skin. Its just not possible.. But of course there is the colors black and white like a piece of clothing, or a colored pencil. Technically, black and white are not considered to be colours, however, common usage of the words would imply they are. Example: The colour of my car is black. or My blouse is white.
