Black is not a color. ~Edouard Manet

Black is the color of my true love’s hair

–traditional Celtic song.

Black is the color of two-piece swimwear worn by bathing beauties (Only they never get them wet).

I’m green with envy.

Purple just don’t understand me.

Now I’m sorry I red this comic.

Orange you glad you started this?

Such a rainbow of imagination today. Looks like another golden opportunity.

Black is the absorbtion of all light and colors. White is the reflection of all light and colors. Now we have been over the rainbow. Enough already.

Merlot is my favorite color

  William Tidler Jr.   While E. Manet was a most excellent artist, it is my opinion - as an artist - that his remark concerning black, is naught but an effete impudent colourist blathering.

Indeed without the colours of black and white, where would we be?

A dictionary definition of colour, can be found to read thusly…

“one, or any mixture, of the constituents into which light can be separated in a spectrum or rainbow, sometimes including (loosely) black and white.”

I know that I am right in my sentiments, because Mrs. Tubbsbottl agrees with me.  

Well I’ll never be blue My dreams come true On Blue Bayou

There were ten in the bed and the little one said - Mauve over, mauve over

I CAN’T STAND THIS COLOR PHILOSIPHY!
