Because black is not a color ... it's where there is no color at all.
At night, when the light in your room is on, everything you see has a color, and when
you turn the light off, everything is black ... no color.
When you see the colors spread out ... in a rainbow, or a picture of the visible spectrum
in a book ... one end is red, the other end is blue, and then there's black on both ends.
Black is not a color that magically appears at two different places in the rainbow. It's
the way the region appears when there is no more color.

∙ 12y agoBlack objects absorb all colors of light because they reflect very little light. Since black absorbs all colors, there is no specific color for it to reflect back, so it appears black. It doesn't absorb black because there is no black light to absorb; black is the absence of color.
Objects that absorb all light appear black because they do not reflect any light back into our eyes, making them appear void of color.
Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.
Black objects absorb all colors of light, reflecting very little back to our eyes. This absorption of light across the visible spectrum is what creates the perception of black color.
Black will absorb most colors and reflect very little light, if any. It will appear dark and devoid of color.
When an object appears black, it means that it is absorbing all colors of light that are hitting it and not reflecting any colors back to your eyes. So, you see the object as black because no light is being reflected from it, making it appear dark.
Black is not a color. It is the combination of all colors.

Black is a color that can absorb all other seven colors of sunlight. When all colors are absorbed, the object appears black.
Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light.

Black objects absorb all wavelengths of visible light and are therefore dark.
Gray can absorb any color of light that it encounters. This is because gray is a mixture of black (absorbs all colors) and white (reflects all colors), so it will absorb all colors to varying degrees depending on its shade.
The "color" black is not really a color. Black is the absence of light. Black objects have pigments that absorb all light and, therefore, none is reflected for us to be able to see.
To create the color black, you can combine equal parts of primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. Mixing these three colors together will absorb all light and result in a black color.
