Black and White – History and Values. Article by Guillaumette Duplaix, Editor of RUNWAY MAGAZINE, Keeper of Colorful Truths: https://runwaymagazines.com/black-and-white-history-and-values/

A Color Debate Through the Ages
In the 1660s, many theories proposed that five fundamental colors were enough to create all others: black, white, red, yellow, and blue.
At the time, Black and White were still considered colors.
But in 1667, a groundbreaking series of experiments by Isaac Newton radically altered the perception of color. By passing sunlight through a glass prism, Newton observed the decomposition of white light into a fixed sequence of colored rays—what he termed the spectrum: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
In this new spectral classification, black and white were no longer included.
Black came to be understood as the total absence of light, and white as the sum of all light wavelengths, but not a color per se. Science thus banished black and white from the realm of “true colors,” a belief that persisted well into the 19th and 20th centuries.

Perception & Fear: The Alienation of Color
France, in particular, has long suffered a subtle trauma in its relationship with color.
Nationally, communication relies heavily on blue, white, and black. White is often misunderstood as purity. Black is equated with formality or elitism. But what happens when color itself is feared?
This fear has a name: chromophobia—the irrational aversion to color.
In some circles, black and white are revered as stable, “noble” values, while color is condemned as disruptive or feminine. Thinkers like Charles Blanc (ironically named) argued that color threatens the purity of art. Color was relegated to nature’s lower forms—flowers, minerals, animals.
