e:still i agree with u
Parent
based on the common definition of color
Quotethe appearance of objects (or light sources) described in terms of a person's perception of their hue and lightness (or brightness) and saturation

black really is a color.
Parent
nope black absorbs all the light and due that its not a color
Parent
ok so are you saying 0 isnt a number?
Parent
that is a different case but for example romans didnt have 0 since its nothing so its not notable so basically its empty group = nothing
Parent
you're a little late. if you want to continue the discussion, follow the post with me and SsAP! :D
Parent
ye saw those but still black aint a colour since defination of colour is that light that isreflected to ur eye and so on (cba to say it with cool words) and due black isnt reflecting shit = no colour for u sir
Parent
you're confusing color with wavelength -,-
Parent
nope the colour u see is about the wavelenght and due that its needed to define colour.
Parent
if you want to get technical like that, black is a hueless color. it doesn't mean it's not a color.
the problem is that you're looking at color by the scientific definition-the reflection of light based on wavelength.

however, i'm describing color based on the visual reference and artistic definition commonly expressed from day-to-day life.
Parent
ye i was thinking exactly the same that we have different bases but mine is better ^^
Parent
it's not, it's a contrast, same goes for white :)
Parent
dark red is the same color as pink?
Parent
CAN be, but they can also differ in the amount of green/blue/red parts (which in this case is more likely)
Parent
technicalities aside, dark red and pink are not the same colors. any color made dark enough appears black even if it isn't entirely the absence of light. therefore, pure black IS the absence of light but can also be a color if it's not absent of light in it's entirety.
Parent
i guess the difference between contrast and color is the fact that contrasts do not have any parts of any color at all (red/green/blue), so only black/white/grey, and probably vise versa (whie it doesn't really matter to the eye if its a higher contrast or just less parts of a certain color imo)
Parent
color by definition is red/blue/yellow, not rgb. rgb is internet color. cymk (cyan, yellow, magenta, black) is printed color.
Parent
I'm deeply sorry, but apart from that i am very confident that what i said is right :P
Parent
no, you're confusing color with hue in the long run.
Parent
red tone = a part of red so if you take pink for example, you can imo still say it's red, simply because of it being a red tone, pink's just more specific, but the color remains red

in that case the hue is different because of either more parts of different color OR change in contrast, your choice, I don't really care:P
Parent
the hue remains red. the color is pink!
Parent
isn't it the other way around? (tone = hue and color the the base of it - red/yellow/green?)

I wouldn't call egg shell colorn a color after all, but a different tone of a color.
(very very very very bright yellow)
Parent
nope. my art teacher went over this in class for like 3 weeks. color is the mixture of hue, saturation, and value.

the old color wheel is actually just hue.
the definition of color has changed because in old times of oil paintings, there weren't so many options. now we can pinpoint exact colors if we really need them.

photoshop ftw


e: eggshell is a different color because it's visually noticed as a different color. in actuality it's a different value of the hue and saturation, but when value changes so does color.
Parent
ok, then my definition of 'color' is just very outdated ^^
Parent
:) glad we had this discussion!
Parent
here are some examples!

this is the newaged "color wheel"

this is a piece of that new "color wheel".

hue is the color "spectrum" but color is the mixture of hue, saturation, and value/luminosity.
Parent
was thinking about writing the very same for some minutes now, glad you did ;)
Parent
indeed it is not.
Parent
what we see as "color" is simply determine by the object we are looking

colors means that the object "swallowing" different rays of the color spectrum
now i asked my teacher if it means that we only refering color as international agreeing
he said yes :~>


BOOM, HEAD SHOT
Parent
Although black is sometimes described as an "achromatic", or hueless, color, in practice it can be considered a color, as in expressions like "black cat" or "black paint". It is however, not a color.
Parent
what is the color of harris's cock?

see what i did there, you were about to say black :~D
Parent
actually, the word ginger came to my mind
Parent
stop being racist
Parent
IS NOT A COLOUR U LOOSE!!!
no, just no. saap is right. black is the absent of colours and white is a combination of all the colours. went threw this a physics when we studied black holes.
yes, yes i do.
that was nothing, just wait until AEF! <3 u owe me a beer.
AND YELLOW
MOTHERFUCKING PURPLE.
