You can read all about it here: http://www.colormatters.com/color-and-design/are-black-and-white-colors Who is arguing? For the purpose of putting black ink on white cardboard, black is a colour that is fully recognized as a "colour" by the printing industry. Next we will be discussing the proper spelling of colour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric7100 #133 Posted July 24, 2016 I'm going to stick with what my kindergarten art teacher, Mrs. Marche (pronounced Mar-Shay), taught me back in 1980 at the ripe age of five: Black is not a color, damnit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupus #134 Posted July 24, 2016 True black does not exist in print, so any printed black is going to be some tone of a very dark grey, with some amount of an underlying hue as well. This is what I learned in a college class called Color in the early 90s, that is what I am going to stick with 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Tarzilla #138 Posted July 24, 2016 Ok, so I was wrong, the box won't be solid C-00 M-00 Y-00 K-100 (or C-75 M-68 Y-67 K-90) There will be some colour 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
