Black isn’t a colour.
Never bought paint before, eh?
Black is the absence of light and therefore not a colour.
But it is a shade.
Are you 12? This is the kind of context-less pedantry that could only come from someone with no real-world experience.
Words can have different meanings in different contexts, and can belong in different categories depending.
Damn you got baited hard. Look at the username. Have you never seen a troll?
Anyone internet user can choose to troll if they like. Maybe some people have troll alter ego but for most username is unrelated.
Satansmaggotycumfart has been a Lemmy regular for many months. What's your problem with funny usernames? Do you find laughter offensive?
Color is a far broader word than that, even if in some niche uses it’s specific.
Next you’re going to tell me zero is a number and not just a placeholder.
You’re not good at this.
Apparently not.
Pigments dude...
Black is every single color at once in pigment.
White is every single color at once in light.
That’s not black, that’s a mix of every colour.
MIT engineers made a ‘black’ using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes but it’s only 99.995% of the way to being a true black.
A mix of every color in pigment is black because it absorbs every color wavelength of light so no color is reflected back to your eyes. All the things like vantablack are doing is trying to get the amount of light reflected back off the object to your eyes to be completely 0. Visible, or otherwise.
You're focusing entirely on the light aspect, forgetting that pigments and light work together to create what we understand as color.
Any pigment can be black depending on the lighting, but only black can be black in full light.
They are only 99.995% of the way to that using the carbon fibre pigment I described.
Not a mixture of every colour.
Any pigment can be black depending on the lighting
No... Just because there isn't enough light to illuminate the object doesn't mean its pigmentation is black. Would you say that an object that is red becomes black if you close your eyes or turn off the lights?
The reason an object is black in full lighting is because it's absorbing all the wavelengths of colored light you can see due to its pigment containing all of those colors. That's why we have black objects that we can see and call "black." Because they're black.
Also, just because I am curious: What do you think a black light is/does?
If I gave you a black and a red ball in the dark you couldn’t tell me which is which.
If you gave me a ball painted with a conventional ’black’ paint and one that was painted with the pigment I described previously in full light I could.
If I gave you a black and a red ball in the dark you couldn’t tell me which is which.
With my naked eyes? No. Because I can't see. But if you put them in a room I couldn't see and gave me the tools to analyze their molecular structure in a room I can see in, I could. (Or well, someone who knows how to use the equipment and read the measurements could anyway lol)
I wouldn’t need any special tools or tool-deciphering experts.
Is purple a colour?
Yes but it is one of the lesser colours like orange.
Lol I guess we have a hierarchy of colors now
Next thing you know it's going to be a book about the superiority of some colours and how inferior colours should no longer exist… wait a minute 🤔
Uh, yes? 'Blue and green reign supreme' as the saying that I just made up goes
"I'm blue, if I was green I would die, if I was green I would die..."
Yesterday we were discussing capitalism and today it’s colours.
Well you contradict yourself, since there's no such thing as purple light, it must be as much a colour as black is. Have you considered your third-grade gotcha might not be quite nuanced enough for the real world? Or that the science of colours might be a little more complex than you first thought?
That’s because it’s ultra purple when it’s light
Light isn't color. Color is exclusively in your head. It's a mental construct.
Not all colours are made of light.
A good troll should require barely any intervention from the person trolling. This chain has 20 comments; nine are yours. 9/20 = you suck at trolling. Sauce.
A master troll can survive for a year on a few grains of MDMA and the dew on his bag of grass.
I’m just having a friendly discussion.
You're supposed to start with "Pardon me, I couldn't help but overh..." no no no wait nevermind that's a different type of troll, my bad.
I like these trolls.
I don't, their faces are creepy looking
Remember not to feed the trolls, people.
I was gonna say something about scientific definitions not being too useful and that you would need to deny that orange and purple are colors, while claiming that WIFI is, but then I actually looked it up and I can't find a definition that doesn't include "lightness" in the equation, aka, black and white (and orange too). Literally can only find an Adobe article claiming this and then countless online discussions.
It’s pretty easy, black isn’t a colour.
Yes it is. It's one of the 4 colors that can make all other colors! Blue, Magenta, Steve, and Black.
Steve is a secondary color!
