Is there a darker color than black?
An image of Vantablack – the darkest material known to man. What’s really revolutionary about this Vantablack is that it’s a color the human eye has never seen before. The “blacker than black” material, which absorbs all but 0.035 percent of visual light, looks more like a black hole on Earth.
Does color actually exist?
There’s such a thing as energy. There’s no such thing as color.” Color is, quite literally, a figment of your imagination, Lotto said. It only exists in your head.

How many colors actually exist?
First of all, scientists have determined that in the lab we can see about 1,000 levels of dark-light and about 100 levels each of red-green and yellow-blue. So that’s about 10 million colors right there.
Is black a color yes or no?
As any rainbow will demonstrate, black isn’t on the visible spectrum of color. All other colors are reflections of light, except black. And many do consider black to be a color, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colors, they’re shades.
Does black absorb all colors?
“A black object is black because it’s absorbing all the light; it’s not reflecting any color,” Chandrasekhar says. While black objects absorb the energy from all colors and become hot, the objects gradually release some of that energy back into the air around it.
How does this explain why you shouldn’t wear a black shirt on a hot day?
The T-shirts (both the black and the white) have an emissivity very close to 1—they don’t really reflect much infrared radiation. They both reflect about the same amount of thermal radiation. That means you are going to be better off with white clothes, since they don’t absorb as much visible light. But wait!
Why does a black object appear black in any light?
A black coat appears black because it absorbs all the wavelengths of visual light that fall on it and no light is reflected into the eye from that object. The different paints mixed together absorb just about all the light falling on them.
