If you removed the world of all color, would everything be white...or clear?... And if it's clear, what is there to see thru it if everything is clear?

The world will be clear but it will also result to seeing nothing but indescribable forms and shapes that would just make the world less appealing.

We, as humans, perceive colour through, obviously, our eyes. When coloured light is reflected off an object, it goes into our eye, is detected by our retina, and is transferred through the optic nerve to our brain. If our retina or our optic nerve (or even our lens!) is not functioning, then we would not be able to detect light, therefore, unable to see colour. The absence of all light is the colour black, so I'm concluding that everything would appear black. (However, this leads to the arguement to whether or not black actually is a colour). You would be unable to detect definite shapes and sizes of objects.

What others said but I have something to add on. The world wouldn't just be white. Oh no. It will also be black because white and black have similarities and differences. If there was no white, there is no black. If there is no black, there is no white.(I learned this from my teacher.) It would be practically impossible to remove the color out of the world. If everything is see through, everything would be invisible. You can see through the intestines and hearts so that means you can't see anything. You still have all your senses but everything is invisible so basically the world is like nothing. That means you don't know where you are going and you might not know where your car is when you grow up. So if everything is see through, you are screwed. I added in the word screwed. Ahah. Anyways, all this will be impossible unless some mad scientists will create some color absorbing machine. But that might take a million years to do. It might take longer. Continued in sources.

It couldnt be white because white is actually all of the colors so without color white wouldn't exist.

it would be white. white is not a color. it is the absence of all color. so if you took all of the color out of the world, you would be left with a white mass.

it would be orange !#$%^&*())((**&^^%$#@!@##$%%^^&&**((****************())(())()()()()()()(()()()()()()(

cool question...actually, i never thought of that way...but i dont think clear is a color

uh... ninjastar... are you... ok?

Just because I answered the thing about your ourworld question huh? Grr....

White is the absorption of all color, and if there is no color to absorb, then white would not exist. Black is the absence of color, but any black we can perceive has at least a little color in it, so as to what "black" with absolutely no color in it would look like might be similar to what blind people "see", otherwise I can't imagine what that would look like. Opacity, or clearness, is the inability to hold color, completely different from white or black . Knowing this, what it would look like depends on how color became nonexistent. If you were to make objects incapable of holding color, color would have no place to go, so become nonexistent,making the universe completely see through, but you still wouldn't see white because it wouldn't exist. If you were to remove all the color from the universe it would appear a shade of black incomparable to anything we have ever seen. If you don't have a headache by now, please tell me so and I'll explain the concept 1-D, 2-D, and 6-10-D.
