Rant in B Minor
Black is not a color
What the hell is wrong with you? Of course it's a color. Look I'm glad you took Art Appreciation and you're trying to sound smart, but then what the hell is it? You don't buy "absence of light pants" you get BLACK pants. I can SEE it, they are dyed into that COLOR.
Oh, so it's a shade? That makes even less sense.
The thumb is not a finger
Okay, Professor Genius, what the hell is it? It's part of the hand and the extensions of the hand are fingers. Just tell me what exactly it is...hmm?

Wikipedia says: Black is both a color and the shade of objects that do not reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum.
Scientifically black is not a hue; a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them, and sometimes is described as an "achromatic color"; in practice black is a color, eg the black cat or black paint.
