A Little about the Color Gray

White is the combination of all the colors of the visible light spectrum. It is sometimes described as an achromatic color, like black. White is technically achromatic, and not a color, since it has no hue. The impression of white light can be created by mixing appropriate intensities of the primary colors of light — red, green and blue — a process called additive mixing, but the illumination provided by this technique has significant differences from that produced by incandescence.
