How come ashes turn white if I get them on black pants, but if I get them on my white pants they show as black?

Example, yesterday I wore black pants and was smoking a blunt, and when I got ashes on my pants ,I rubbed them in, and there was a long white streak on my pants. My friend had a white shirt on and he got ashes on his shirt and when he did the same thing it showed as black. Why is that?

Well this is simple, the ashes are black and white and you only see the opposite color when you rub it in. In the future blow them off your clothes or shake it away no smears that way.
