Sorry about the typo. It was supposed to be 70mph. =) Thanks Goldwing I'll make sure to check out that section. Maybe the next time I head to my mechanics I'll ask them to check out if the gears and such on the wing need some TLC. Oh and the perma grin isn't fading anytime soon. I could go all geeky on you guys and the 'color' or 'not a color' car thing...Black is classified as the absence of color...spooky and fast!
Thanks guys,
K.

Go Colts!! LOL
The question:
Are black and white colors when they exist as pigments or as molecular coloring agents?

The answer:
Black is a color. (Chemists will confirm this!)

Explanation:
Here's a simple way to show how black is made: Combine all three primary colors (red yellow and blue) using a liquid paint or you even food coloring. You
won't get a jet black, but the point will be clear. The history of black pigments includes charcoal, iron metals, and other chemicals as the source of black paints.
Resource: History of Pigments
Therefore, if someone argues that black is the absence of color, you can reply, “What is in a tube of black paint?” However, you must add the fact that black is a color when you are referring to the color of pigments and the coloring agents of tangible objects.

Mixing all the colors gives you a brown, yuck color. Even most things you see which appear black, are most often very dark shades of blue, purple, green...
