Whats your favourite colour?

[David B]

Technically, neither Black, nor White, are considered "Colours"

True. I remember having it gently drummed into me as a kid that black was an absence of colour rather than a bona fide colour.

(and surely white is a colour, seeing as it's what you get if you mix all the colours of the visible spectrum together? otherwise you'd mix colours until there is no colour, mmm...)

Then why is it that if you mix all the plasticine colours together it just makes brown?

Sorry flashbacks to my childhood.

Ah yes, good point...solid objects absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others (giving colour), mixing of all colours ensures absorbtion of all wavelengths, hence zero reflection = black/the colour of primary school plasticine

With light though, because colour is the human perception of radiation in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum (~400-750 nm), emission at all visible wavelengths in equal amounts means reflection of all wavelengths, and that's the perception of white

so white is a colour, black isn't...possibly, erm..sorry gone a bit off topic...
