if black is all colors and white is no colors what is gray?
In: 1072
A lot of people say they’re colours and think they’re colours. There’s some fair basis as to why they may think that. However black and white are not actually colours. They are shades.
This is what was taught to me at secondary school around 30 years ago. Adobe seems to pretty much stand by me on this one. They’d probably know best right?
“Some consider white to be a colour, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a colour, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colours, they’re shades”
