Semantics, I'm sure. It all depends on if you're talking about light or pigments.
With light, white is a mixture of all the colors of light, black is an absence of light.
With pigments, black is a mixture of all the colors of pigments (mostly), white is theoretically an absence of pigments.
The pigments one isn't as straightforward as the light one cause you actually have to have something in the paint to make it "white" so white is still a pigment. But mostly that's it.
Anyways, I'm gonna get on memorizing those color codes so I can confuse the kids I'll be mentoring for programming and controls. And hopefully distract them from the fact that I'm only a few steps ahead of them in learning the system.
