Technically isn't black the absence of all colours...?

Russ, I think MiamiPhil has you on that one...black is the presence of all colors and white is the absence of colors...

Actually black absorbs all colors while white reflects all colors.

Not sure if that jibes with MiamiPhil or Russ??

This topic has me (happily) thinking about my car, built and very shortly to be sitting in the basement of the BMW Welt.

You're both right (or wrong, if you a pessimist). It depends if it is an additive or subtractive color system. White is the presence of all color in an additive system, like a TV screen. Black is the presence of all colors in a subtractive system, like ink on paper.

However, paint is a subtractive system...
