Poll: Is Invisible a Color?

Is Milhouse a Meme?

Are black and white colors?

Yes, at least partially. White is actually every color of the spectrum combined.

Black can be debatable. I would include it as a color, but it's technically only the absence of light. What you perceive as black is actually a material/object that isn't reflecting any light. The human mind interprets those portions as black. You can make an argument that because of that, black isn't technically a real color.

Then you shouldn't have asked the question!

"What colour are you painting your walls?"
"I'm painting them invisible."

I need to read more of this Deadpool guy, seems like my kind of guy. He's that grey government created monster with all the powers right?

Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Considering the fact that color is light reflecting off of something to create a certain spectrum, then yeah...Invisible doesn't work. It's the lack of color, light, or darkness in any sort of way.

From what I understand (and this isn't much, as I don't read comics), he's essentially a failed attempt to clone Wolverine. He's got a healing factor like the yellow wonder, but he's rather deformed underneath the mask, and he's completely insane. For whatever reason, he hired out as a mercenary and earned the moniker "the Merc with the Mouth".

I really should read some of his comics though, because I love the way he breaks the fourth wall without rhyme or reason. I just never get around to it though.

If you want to get technical, no. Color, even black/white, comes from light being reflected or absorbed off a surface. Whatever light waves are picked up by the eye gets translated into color. Something that's invisible isn't absorbing/reflecting light in that way; it's bending light around itself in some way to appear to be not there.

Clear could be a color, in my mind. But invisible is the lack of being visible. It's not color-related. Clear is a transparent appearance, which I think of as a color. I mess with people when they ask me my favorite color and say "clear". But I don't think it matters.

No. Color is a property of light. Something invisible doesn't interact with light at all.

seconded mostly

Show me something invisible and I will tell you if it is a color or not!

 

[azukar]

Colour is about light from within the visible part of the spectrum bouncing off things and interacting with our eyes and brain.

If something isn't visible then no light is reaching your eyes from that object.

So no. That's a silly question and deserves a far sillier answer than that.

Colours can be invisible (Infra-red, Ultraviolet), but Invisible isn't a colour.

Yeah, that's what I've heard too, my description is based on the godawful X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie, kinda trolling, lol. I do need to read more comics...

The thread should have ended with this reply.

 

[thahat]

well. not as you ask it.
but there are plenty of collors invisible...to our eyes. so sort of i guess?

 

[Torrasque]

No, it's not a colour. It's, I suppose you could say, a property.

This.
Saying Invisible is a colour, is like saying 'Cat' is a colour.

this is a common sense thing, No, just no, and if you think about it tooooooooooooooo much, so much that you can only say yes if you have thought about it way too long. About as long as a brain dead person needs in order to figure out what 1 + 1 equals. Even "does 1+1 really = 2?" is something that only gains merit if you think about it a lot longer than you should.
