Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: White is a lack of color while black is all the colors...that is why they are not on the color spectrum. That's what I was taught.; January 23, 2016 at 5:52 PM
j-swin said...: You're right when it comes to ink (there is no such thing as white ink. Cyan, magenta, yellow and black compose all the colors and your media is typically white) but in paint and pigments white is a processed color. White light on the other hand is all the visible color spectrums mixed at once but that is bordering on optic science and waaaaaaay outside my skill set.; January 23, 2016 at 7:11 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I think I just have issues with the white crayon on the box when you only have white paper to color on. It's such a useless color to have...but then when you have colored paper it's whole value changes. I have given this way too much thought.; January 23, 2016 at 7:40 PM
