How stuipd is that-_-

It's a Colour.

Must disagree; not a color; a "shade", absence of color. To a human-being; an absence of reflected "light" within the range detectable by human vision. To our perception, Black is the entire range of wave frequencies that fall beneath the point of visibility. But in the absolute sense, true Blackness would require a total absence of any form of wave energy, whether visible or not to the unaided human eye.

Does a paradox exist if we sit in the darkest cave on earth and ask if it is Black? By the deficiency of our visual senses it Appears to be Black, for we see no reflective light. Yet we sit amidst "light" beyond human visual range, provided by our own body heat. So is black then Black ? It is a matter of semantics; of definitions. Showing the difficulties of using spoken language to describe matters involving absolutes; typically gaining descriptive precision within the realm of mathematics.

You might find it interesting to put the Question, "Is white, White? (or what Is White?)" !? Regards, Baron
