Contrary to popular belief, only a rare percentage colorblind people can only see in black and white. More commonly, colorblind people difficulty telling two colors apart, or being able to identify what color an object is. Colorblind people don't see anything "wrong", their perception of color is just slightly different. Only in a minority of colorblind people is colorblindness a major disability. Common colours to not be able to distinguish between are green and red, blue and orange.

Why is black not considered a color?

How the human eye perceives colours it is technically seeing the colour that is reflected from the object. All colours have different wave lengths. So when you're looking at that red apple it is every colour except red, the red is being reflected back. This is what your eye perceives as red. In the matter of black it is not a colour because it absorbs all colours and reflects none of them back.

Why did Spielberg use the colour yellow a lot in Jaws?

This is because Yellow is the only colour that sharks are belived to be able to see and Spielberg put this colour all over the film because he thought it would create a subconscious link between the visual colours the audience are seeing on the screen with the music that plays when the shark is about attack and seeing the point of view of the shark would make the audience feel more connected to a shark they hardly see in the film.

Black is a color white is also a color then why black and white TV is not colour?

Black and White is a misnomer (wrong name) because it is actually greyscale. That means the image is formed from a mixture of dark and light to form shades of grey. As you point out Black & White are colours. So is Grey. Colour TV is named so because it uses all the colours we are used to seeing with our eyes. It does it by combining Red, Blue & Green to form the colours. So yes. B&W TV is actually colour but it is a subset (a limited selection) of colours. In fact just various shades of Grey. Remember that the names B&W and Colour are really just marketing names. before Colour TV B&W TV was just called TV! Colour was the name used by the TV manufacturers to impress people and point out the difference that the new technology made. They should have called it "More Colourful Television" :)
