White is actually the mix of all colors, so win.

Correction of a correction fail. All color deals with light. You couldn’t have color without it. So saying that all colors would give you black is wrong. Black is an absence of color, white is the reflection of all colors. You can’t avoid it.

I saw a fail like this the other day, but I didn’t have my camera *sigh*.
I saw a box of packaged gloved with a sticker on each package…that showed a palm tree on the beach and a guy standing next to it in a swimsuit with a volleyball.

Exactly what I thought. I’m surprised it took so long for someone to mention it. It’s pretty obvious this sign has colored shirts in front of it and the sign is referring to them. My guess is the other side of the sign says “plain t-shirts.” I declare this contribution a fail.

Sure, nobody’s ever going to read this fail, or even this far down on the comments, but I had to post. This is at a Walgreens, and those sort of things happen all the time, especially if the box was mislabeled (a common occurrence with cheap shirts) as colored tees and then turned out to be white.

The WOW is actually a Walgreens term (where this picture was taken) used in their marketing. They like to say it means, WIN OVER WALMART… but yes, in this case, it failed. They probably scanned the wrong UPC.

I think its funny that no one sees the red shirts in FRONT of the sign. Those are probably the shirts it is talking about. seeing as the sign is connected to THAT bin.

Shouldn’t be an apostrophe in “T’S” either, since it’s a plural, not a possessive. Grammar fail too.

At least one certain shade of green apparently looks brown to me. Couldn’t tell you what shade of green it is, though .. just that it’s whatever shade they use on the Alberta driver’s license test, which is how I found out about this.

But those shirts are _definitely_ white.

My sunglasses do not cause diffusion just because they have hue. Clear objects can be transparent in some wavelengths and not others, thus causing the perception of color. Neutral density optic filters are designed to not differentially affect the visible wavelengths passing through them. You are possibly confusing transparent with colorless. See achromatic.

By: canadianguy

canadianguy — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:46:22 +0000

well, actually, an object is said to have a certain colour only because that colour is not absorbed by the object, a red shirt is anything but red, adn we see the red light reflected off, so a white shirt is truely colorless because it reflets all colours

plural noun apostrophe fail?

By: Biff

Biff — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 21:09:54 +0000

No, not at all. I just prefer the scientifically correct terminology over the common clothing usage. Besides which, I wouldn’t have brought up the “white is a color” thing if not for the people trying to prove it is not on the grounds that it reflects all the light in the visible spectrum.

By: Dragonwriter

Dragonwriter — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:51:24 +0000

Soooo…you’re telling me that the sign in this picture is defining “colored” in the scientific sense and NOT in the way that people actually talk about clothes?

By: Biff

Biff — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:49:22 +0000

No, they are only semi transparent. If they were truly transparent they wouldn’t be rose colored.

By: Biff

Biff — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:47:13 +0000

True, but washing terms for clothes isn’t the same as whether white is a color in the scientific sense.

“You’re confusing transparent and opaque with colors.”

No, I am not. Several times through this thread people have claimed that white isn’t a color. The reason given for this statement is that white reflects all the light from the spectrum. But that proves EXACTLY the opposite. Why? Color is based on which parts of the visible light spectrum an object reflects and which it absorbs. So, since it reflects them all it is a color. And since black absorbs them all it is also a color. The only object that you could claim had no color would have to neither reflect nor absorb any of the light. In other words it would be translucent/transparent. Transparent isn’t a color, it is lack of color. White is a color.

“Noop…look closer. The plastic is red with writing on it, and you can see something white inside it.”

Yea, you’re right I looked closer and I agree.

“So I guess you’ll be washing your colors with your whites, then?”
Ah, no. But bleeding dyes isn’t really the issue.
