Space is black. The sky is blue because blue light is scattered by the air.

Coincidentally the sun is actually white, and the reason it looks yellow is that blue light gets filtered out. Blue light is opposite yellow in the spectrum, so the imbalance gives the light a yellow hue.

Not by scientifically useful definitions of colour

Black is the absence of colour. (it does not appear on the visible light spectrum)

>> No.4589999

Black is a qualia, therefore a colour.

Quads confirms it

Using black as a descriptor for emptiness is bad potatoes. It can never be "black" only "darker."

>> No.4590031

contrapositive: if space is not blue, then neither is the sky.
inverse: if the sky is not blue, then neither is space.
converse: if space is blue, then so is the sky.
negation: there exists a sky that is not blue.

so how do they make black paint?

>> No.4590254

>>4590223
Pigments are subtractive.

>> No.4590270

>>4590254
Of course. But do they possess colour? Or should I ask for not green pain when I want red paint?

>> No.4590301

>>4590172
black is a tint of every colour

>> No.4590330

You mix blue and green to get cyan.
You mix red and blue to get magenta.
You mix cyan, magenta, and yellow to get black.
