The "black/white are not colors" argument is pure pedantry. It's just a semantic debate between how you define "color." No, black is not a "color" if you define the word as "lightwaves in the visible spectrum reflected from an object to be interpreted by the human brain via the waves hitting the retina," but I don't think lay people are so picky.
