Bob.
Strickly speaking, white or black isn't a colour. Yellow and brown are.
Strictly speaking unless you have a pure colour, as per rainbow, most are a mix of more than one colour and unlikely to be pure, just like white is a mix.
The real question is what constitutes a colour, my Wordweb dictionary says, "A visual attribute of things that results from the light they emit, transmit or reflect".
When you encounter a truly white/black person please let me know.
Quite. And a pure black does non of those.
Does that make you a Pinko, then?
Bit racist, that.
What if gloss or eggshell?
Even black people have white sclera and teeth.

Yes. And mine's not white, it's pink. I don't know anyone who's white.
Albinos probably fall into that category. There are not many of them.

They will prolly be slightly pink too.
The one I used to know certainly was, and went redder very quickly in the sunshine. Their irises were pink. All of their hair was pure white, though.
Yes, the hair would be. But the skin will be faintly coloured by blood vessels.
People who suffer from iron deficiency anaemia?
But no one is actually white, they are at most pink or off white. Same with the blacks. Even the blackest Tamils arent actually totally black, with jet black tongues and palms and soles of their feet etc.
And so is pink and off white and off black.
But no human is ever pure black all over.
No they do not. None of them are ever pure white all over.
None of them are pure white all over.
And white is a mixture of colours anyway.
Those are still off white.
