Bike and Clothing Colours..

[Boon 51]

Matt black bike (Cannondale Bad Boy). Black shorts, black base layer trousers, black Night Vision jacket and gloves for when it's dark (!), black helmet, black socks and black shoes. Usually wear a black t-shirt or polo shirt as my only cycling shirt, a La Vie Claire 80s replica, is too small. Sometimes I do wear a bright red lightweight coat during the day if it's windy and my base layer long-sleeveed top is also red.

I'm a great lover of black.. my best colour..

1. Black is the absence of color (and is therefore not a color)
Explanation:
When there is no light, everything is black. Test this out by going into a photographic dark room. There are no photons of light. In other words, there are no photons of colors.
2. White is the blending of all colors and is a color.
Explanation:
Light appears colorless or white. Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. A rainbow is proof. You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions bend the light rays and create a rainbow. You can also use a prism to demonstrate this.

Darkrooms by definition are not black but dark, safe light for b&w is red, as b&w paper does not react quickly to it, the paper will still fog if brought close to it for any length of time, for colour a very dull amber can be used, but its almost useless, film does need to be transferred to the dev tanks in the dark.
Sunlight, our sun is actually yellow in colour, there are blue stars orange stars red ones white ones, the hottest of which are the blue ones.
Black as a colour as in paint, reflects no light which is why it appears black. I will need to get my books out to explain the difference between light mixing to create white and colour mixing to create black, but basically one as additive and one is subtractive if remember right, though I might be wrong.

Very scientific you guys but in rugby they are called them the all blacks not the all darks so to the man in the street black is a colour...
