Good job orange. This made me giggle... hehe

The ocean itself is not Blue, it's the reflection of the sky that makes it appear to have a color

[LovelyLoser2013]

White/clear is actually all of the colors together and black is the complete absence of color... lol :)

Do you ever listen to audiobooks? If so how do you feel about all the descriptions of how things looked like? How do you imagine things based on such descriptions if you have no data to imagine things like colors etc?

ice cubes are clear...

I don't understand. A white pigment is white because it reflects all wavelengths of visible light (therefore all colours). I don't get what you mean?

[lolzomgz1337]

Black is the absence of colour, white is all the colours.

I mean true if you say blue is the same color water how would you know if you haven't seen any thing ever

Great videos Tommy and thanks for sharing. Can I send you a PM?

[griqs]

well i think idk if we could actually tell him it would be great to ask him, but if you can "see" inside your eye that would describe the color black... i think but i would never beable to tell because i have no idea how blindness works.

With light, black is the absence of color and white is all colors, true; however, with pigment, it is just the opposite.
