Just ripped this from Google -
- Black represents the absence of light and is a shade resulting from the complete absorption of light.
- White is the culmination of all colors of light combined and is present when light is reflected without any absorption.
- In physics, color is defined by the wavelength of visible light, and since black and white lack specific wavelengths, they are not considered colors.
Not sure how useful this is with aligning what you had in mind but it's some food for thought!
