Technically speaking, black is not a color at all. Color is the way we perceive light of a given frequency; if it has a wavelength that is, say, 510 nanometers, then we perceive green light. Black, however, is an absence of light. Therefore, black is not a color at all, rather, it is an absence of color. Unless you are speaking of subtractive colors - then black is the presence of all color and white is the absence of all color. Additive color is light - subtractive color is the color that light bouncing from an object creates.
