Interesting thread.
white means it reflects all visible colors, black absorbs all visible colors.
Same with a light emitting devices, add all colors together from a bunch of different colored lights and it will appear white.
Now when mixing pigment it is different, add all colors together and it makes black.

Clear as mother's milk, right?
