Talking Re: New Crossfire owner

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.

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.

Congrats on your purchase and with regard Base V Limited: there's no difference at all - except for the cosmetics.

ENJOY!

It still comes down to reflected light. Blue looks blue because it reflects that part of the spectrum. White reflects all colors within the spectrum. Black reflects none. 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...

I assume when the lights are out in a dark garage all the colors look black, when the the lights are turned on it will reflect the color that it is. Mine reflects black and if it's blue or any other color, then I parked the wrong car in my garage. Wait a minute I have a white car also.

What really sucks is when you turn the lights on in the garage and you see no color at all reflected back, and you have that moment of panic, until you remember you parked in the driveway.
