I'm a sucker for black on black cars and this must be one of the best looking ones I have seen.

Black is the only color you can get away with on this theme of a Monochromatic color scheme on a car without looking stupid.

Just a thing tough, black is not a color.
Love the Lambo.

Technically speaking, black is merely the absence of the wavelengths of the visible light spectrum. So when you are in a room with no lights and everything around you appears black, it means that there are no wavelengths of visible light striking your eye as you sight at the surroundings.
Black paint is actualy an illusion. Black object usually absorb light but do not emit light. Plastics and many types of glass
are essentially "black" in the ultraviolet.
The color of an object is not actually within the object itself; rather, the color is in the light which shines upon it that ultimately becomes reflected or transmitted to our eyes.
But since black only absord, but do not emit/reflect light, bingo they apear as black.

In this context, black is a color. What you're saying makes perfect sense though, but the "color" or "absence of wave light", depends entirely upon what context you're using the word.

All of that is true. There are even those who say that black and white are shades but in the "real world" we see black as a colour.

Scientificaly black is not a colour.
Neither is white.
It is an oxymoron.

Actually we're see what we do not see. Since it does not reflect light, it's like standing a room half lighened, half darken.
Thus we "see" the dark side from the lighted one.

True but if you are on a date with a woman and she asks you if she should buy a black or red coloured car I doubt that giving her a lecture about black and light is suitable thing to do.
