Was wondering because black and darkness is different from each other as darkness is gone when light is present but black remains.

Black is not a color per se. Black is the absence of light.

The colors we see is our brain interpreting different wavelengths of light in the form of images. When we see an absence of light, our brain interprets this as black.

Therefore, I think it’s safe to assume that black is not a color of light, but instead a measure of little to no brightness.
