> Blasphemy!! Why Black Is Considered a Color? Black is a color that has been debated for centuries. Is it really a color, or is it just the absence of it? Black may seem like the absence of color, but it is actually color in its own right. It has a specific wavelength that can be measured, just like any other color. Additionally, black can be created through the absorption of all colors, rather than the absence of color (I copied and pasted btw, not my words, dont shoot!)
