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.
White as snow.
Black as oil ( “black gold”).
White as champagne.
Black as black caviar.
White as “white gold”, platinum.
Black as black pearls.
White as a wedding dress for her.

Black is the color of objects that do not reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum. Scientifically, a black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them.

A little about the color blue :)
*
Blue is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 440–490 nm. It is considered one of the additive primary colors. On the HSV Color Wheel, the complement of blue is yellow; that is, a color corresponding to an equal mixture of red and green light.
1. Blue as the Oxford University uniform for students. The University helped the science and the scientists survive during the Christian Inquisition in the middle ages, right before the Reformation and the Renaissance.
2. Blue as the Blue in Judaism: In the Torah, the Israelites were commanded to put fringes, tzitzit, on the corners of their garments, and to weave within these fringes a "twisted thread of blue (tekhelet)". In ancient days, this blue thread was colored with the dye extracted from a snail of the Mediterranean Sea called the hilazon.
3.Blue as in the Case Blue, the Wehrmacht's codename for the 1942 summer offensive in the Soviet Union (the Battle of Voronezh, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the Battle of the Caucasus); its results had fallen short of German expectations, settled on the more modest name of "Blue" (see 12 – blue reffers sadness).
4. Blue as the Atlantic Ocean.
5. Blue as the sky on a sunny day, blue as the ecologic unpolluted air. Germany is known for its environmental consciousness. The government and the society have acknowledged the phenomenon of the global warming caused by the humans. Germany is committed to the Kyoto protocol and several other treaties promoting biodiversity, low emission standards, recycling, the use of renewable energy and supports sustainable development on a global level.
6. Blue is also associated with homosexuality.
7. Blue as the Mediterranean Sea.
8. Blue as the Blue chip company stocks, a term derived from the game of poker, where blue chips have the highest value. So: poker or "blue chip" ?. "Blue chip" companies pay regular dividends, even when business is faring worse than usual. They are valued by investors seeking relative safety and stability.
9. Blue as "blue chips". This term "blue chip" is used to describe collegiate athletes who are being targeted to be drafted by professional sports teams. "Blue chip" players have proven themselves to be amongst the best at their respective positions in their sports.
10. Blue is associated with the EU for its blue flag with yellow stars.
11. In the English language, blue may refer to the feeling of sadness –“he was feeling blue". This is because blue was associated with rain or storms, and in the Greek mythology Zeus would make the rain pour when he was sad and crying, and create a storm when he was angry.
~~~~~~The modern English word blue comes from the medieval English word, bleu or blew, which came from an Old French word bleu of Germanic origin (Frankish or possibly Old High German blao, "shining").
