What is Black Color?

Black is the darkest color, resulting from the absence or complete absorption of visible light. It is an achromatic color, like white and gray, without hue. Black has been used since ancient times in art, fashion, and design, symbolizing power, elegance, and mystery. In color theory, black is considered the absence of all colors in the additive color model, while in the subtractive color model, it is the result of mixing all colors.
