They're the presence of all colors except for green or blue, therefore that color is visible to the eyes. So, if we contend that blue and green are what we traditionally refer to as "colors," then actually black is all colors, not the absence thereof. (Even, though, in light, it is technically the absence of all colors... weird to think of, I'm sure

I could just imagine Herr Clementson reading this and announcing a ban on existential questions. Well, maybe not "if a game show doesn't give away cash or prizes, is it still a game show?"
Straying a little bit more, even in this 16.7-million-color universe we live in, I still prefer basic colors to those pesky colors-between-the-colors anyday. For example, take the cyclorama on CS78. I call the color red, and most of us call it red. My mom might call it more like vermillion.
