That'd be white retard.
For a mirror if you use the visual spectrum then it is only the color of what is hitting it, since it reflects light in a defined pattern and doesn’t scatter it like other objects it not really a color as we define them. This is a question that I have had come up every time I’ve taken color theory at school.
Nobody will ever know the color of a mirror b/c it reflects light. It doesn't absorb any light, therefore not absorbing any color there for having no color.
If someone could just turn of the reflection mechanism then we could finally witness the color which is of the mirror por favor......*cough*......hmph..... E=Mc squared.....watson....and all that jazz.

Originally posted by InnerRiseIf you really want to think about it, technically everything is “black”. Every object has no “color” and it requires light and the visual spectrum to see it. The only thing that would have color is if it produced its own light.

Spoony's right ya' know, if something reflects all colours of the visible light spectrum, the thing that reflected the light has to be white, not black, if it were black, no light would be reflected at all😬
Originally posted by Demonic PhoenixNo, didn’t you read my post? All objects have no color, it is only light that gives them a “color” in the visual spectrum. With a mirror you can’t call it white either by the normal definition of color because it doesn’t scatter the light; it perfectly reflects it so in many ways it is still light but the object itself has no color.

Objects do have colour, the light is what allows us to see that colour.........as with the mirror, I don't know what colour a mirror is either, maybe the colour of whatever it is reflectingsrug
Originally posted by Demonic PhoenixObjects do not have color, color only comes from light, and if there is no light then there is no color. If an object has color then in darkness you would be able to see it like neon, fire or like a glow stick. These objects give off light so you can see it. A red shirt is only red if there is light present without light it is “black” or without color. We see in a certain spectrum so the object to us looks red but to an animal it can be something else, if the object has “color” then it would appear the same to all. It is the refractive properties of the material that reflects/scatters the light that the rods and cones in our eyes pick up but it doesn’t have color.
