          Are you 12? This is the kind of context-less pedantry that could only come from someone with no real-world experience.

          Words can have different meanings in different contexts, and can belong in different categories depending.

              Anyone internet user can choose to troll if they like. Maybe some people have troll alter ego but for most username is unrelated.

          Color is a far broader word than that, even if in some niche uses it’s specific.

            That’s not black, that’s a mix of every colour.

            MIT engineers made a ‘black’ using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes but it’s only 99.995% of the way to being a true black.

              A mix of every color in pigment is black because it absorbs every color wavelength of light so no color is reflected back to your eyes. All the things like vantablack are doing is trying to get the amount of light reflected back off the object to your eyes to be completely 0. Visible, or otherwise.

              You’re focusing entirely on the light aspect, forgetting that pigments and light work together to create what we understand as color.

                Any pigment can be black depending on the lighting, but only black can be black in full light.

                They are only 99.995% of the way to that using the carbon fibre pigment I described.

                Not a mixture of every colour.

                  Any pigment can be black depending on the lighting

                  No… Just because there isn’t enough light to illuminate the object doesn’t mean its pigmentation is black. Would you say that an object that is red becomes black if you close your eyes or turn off the lights?

                  The reason an object is black in full lighting is because it’s absorbing all the wavelengths of colored light you can see due to its pigment containing all of those colors. That’s why we have black objects that we can see and call “black.” Because they’re black.

                  Also, just because I am curious: What do you think a black light is/does?

                    If I gave you a black and a red ball in the dark you couldn’t tell me which is which.

                    If you gave me a ball painted with a conventional ’black’ paint and one that was painted with the pigment I described previously in full light I could.

          Light isn’t color. Color is exclusively in your head. It’s a mental construct.

      A good troll should require barely any intervention from the person trolling. This chain has 20 comments; nine are yours. 9/20 = you suck at trolling. Sauce.

      I was gonna say something about scientific definitions not being too useful and that you would need to deny that orange and purple are colors, while claiming that WIFI is, but then I actually looked it up and I can’t find a definition that doesn’t include “lightness” in the equation, aka, black and white (and orange too). Literally can only find an Adobe article claiming this and then countless online discussions.

      Yes it is. It’s one of the 4 colors that can make all other colors! Blue, Magenta, Steve, and Black.
