White is not a color.
Black is not a color.
They are not colors because they do not have specific wavelengths of light. Black is the absence of visible light.
White is the true rainbow color. It contains all visible wavelengths of light.
If you look at the white areas of your computer screen with a magnifying glass, you will see pigments of red, green, and yellow in a triangular pattern. That’s because your eye contains three kinds of nerve cells that respond to the light wavelengths of red, blue, and green.
If you look at the black areas of your computer screen with a magnifying glass, you will not see see any of those red, green and blue dots.
I appreciate the irony of your “people of color = colored people” But technically, we don’t have any color at all. :-) Or perhaps better; We only see what our eyes perceive.
You talk like me. I could have posted that, right down to your details about tv and computer screens.
We are in agreement, 100%
But I’m just talking about the labels. ;-)
