This is a tricky question. Black does not absorb light. Various materials absorb and reflect different amounts of light; this is true for nearly everything in the universe. When a substance absorbs all visible light and reflects none, we call that “Black.” Black is the effect of a thing that absorbs light, not the cause of the absorption.
