That is somewhat grossed out there mate, I mean I usually don't do corpse in the morning, makes for a reduced appetite. I thought we might reach some level of personal and emotional meaning of colors Pat, not so much the scientific and chemical dissections. Regardless of the actual element of black it is still referred to as a color, like in a paint store. One could not say they don't carry black paint because it is not a color. When they ask what color I want and I say black they give me black paint.
