Black and white are technically shades, not colours. They augment colours and yet they function like colours too, evoking feelings. They communicate more powerful together than they do on their own. They shouldn’t compete, but complete.

True black and true white are rare.

What you see as a pigment with a black colour or a light with a white colour actually contains various light or dark colours. Nothing can be pure white or pure black, except unfiltered sunlight or the depths of a black hole.
