rideon7 "I believe you have your color spectrometer reversed. BLACK is the presence of all colors whereas WHITE is the absence of color; ....."

This is only true for those who color with crayons.

rideon7 "In my further research on this topic into the color-speed continuum, I discovered the following about the color white: "For the eye to perceive an object as white, the object must reflect all colors (or close to).""

This part you got correct. To reflect all colors it must contain all colors. Black reflects no color cause it has none. Shine a white light thru a prism and you get all colors. Shine a black light thru a prism...heck I don't know what you get, suspect nothing. The whole thing is based on what we see reflected off a surface under white light. Put yourself under a monochrome light source (sodium light), and what colors you see? Black is still black; however, cause it has no color, it reflects nothing.
