So what you're saying is he would take on whatever colour he was in front of? Yep, good call.

Black is the colour your kindergarten teacher tells you you get when you mix all the colours. A nuetralish brown or grey is the colour you get when you mix them all together. What happens when you mix red and green? You get a chromatic grey because they are natural opposites and cancel each other out; same for blue and orange, and purple and yellow. When you're talking about mixing physical elements together, you just have to use the right pigments to get black or white.
If you step out of kindergarten mode and talk about how we see things (light reflecting off of objects) then white is all of the colours of the spectrum put together and black is the lack of colour (hence seeing rainbows through prisms which break light down, and not being able to see any colours in the dark).
