Still just blue and green??

Yes, Helmet, you are way wrong on this one. I think you are confusing light with pigment.

Of course white light is comprised of all colours; that's why you can split it through prisms, and it can form rainbows. You ever seen blackness form a rainbow?

This is a stupid conversation.

Well, you started it! That point needed refuting.

Black and white are absent color, which is what I said. This has nothing to do with light or SW. There are only 3 colors for sabers and 1 purple one.

You said white is the absence of colour, and it is not. That's all.

Really? Take note of definition 1:

1) Free of color.

First of all, that link of yours does not lead anywhere.

Secondly, you are only making yourself look increasingly foolish. Anyone who knows the slightest bit of physics knows that white is the combination of all light in the colour spectrum. I will point you again to my points about prisms and rainbows. And did you ever note that when there isn't any light things go BLACK!?

Only in a pigment sense can white be considered to be colourless.

Go look up white in a dictionary genius. It means free of color, which means no color.

Main Entry: 1white
Pronunciation: 'hwIt, 'wIt
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): whit·er; whit·est
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English hwIt; akin to Old High German hwIz white and probably to Old Church Slavonic svetu light, Sanskrit sveta white, bright
Date: before 12th century

1 a : free from color

I HAVE looked it up in a dictionary, where colourless is just one of several meanings.

Why don't YOU look it up in a basic physics book? You really are looking VERY stupid right now.

How can something be colorless and have color? Thank God I didn't take your Physics class.

Ok, pay attention, Helmet...

My physics classes were EXTREMELY good, unlike yours, apparently

I already told you that white is considered colourless ONLY with regards to pigment.

With light, it is ALL colours of the spectrum.

Now, as you seem to have sadly not been taught this very basic piece of information, here are some webistes that explain the point, from many different angles, and quite clearly, so you won;t lose track.

I think you will find the last link, aimed at a 12 year old, will make it the most clear for you.

Here we go with light again. 🙄 Were' talking about colors, not light, EDITED

Not that those two things are mutually exclusive, Helmet, as light has colour.

But we ARE talking about light. We are very VERY clearly talking about light. Lightsabres are hardly pigmentation, are they? They are light sources. Hence the glow, see? Hence it being light.

And you have been warned about your language before, Helmet.

EDITED- For repetitive pointlessness.

or you can make a mod like in JO and change it all 😉

EDITED. Again, a pointless repeat post.

What on Earth is that link for? That's just comparing adjectives for one use of the word 'white'

Did you bother to read the five links I gave you?

They are all definitions of "absence of color"

I don't care about your physics links. We aren't talking about light here. We are talking about color.
