color is actually tell us how a surface reflex light which fall to it. the sun light (which is considered white) actually contains 7 color (you know: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet - and also infra red n ultra violet). if the light fall to a surface, say it a leaf surface, the leaf will absorb all color and reflex only green color. so we see the leaf color is green. the same process happen in the red shoes, yellow shirt, blue hat. the white paper reflexes all color which falls to it. the black car absorbs all color and reflexes no color. so....is black a color or not?

Black would be my second favorite color but like said it's not really a color blacks meaning is the absence of color and light. I don't get that that's the meaning of black but black absorbs light when you wear it so i guess it would be consisdered a color on account of the definiton of it is seemingly false.
