    Technically is Black a color? Or is it all of them together?

    Technically black is a color, whereas white is a lack of color

    Black is the absence of light, white has light from the entire visible spectrum (all colors).

    True for light...

    But in RBG how come black requires full 256 on all three pigments, and white requires 0 on all three?

    Furthermore, try mixing all your paint colors together... it won't be white.

    No, in RGB 000 000 000 is black, 255 255 255 is white. CMY is the opposite. It depends on whether you're starting from black (RGB- projectors, computer displays) or white (CMY- printing).

    I'm not talking about paint, I'm talking about light waves.

    depends on the system, additive vs subtractive.

    Doh... Yeah, I was thinking about CMY. That magenta is so pretty.

    Correct.
    rgb is used in printing as well. but yeah it comes down to transmission of light and reflection of light
