What colour are pandas?

[WF8MAN]

Someone asked earlier on "What colour are pandas? Answer: Pandas are in monochrome....they haven't got colour TV yet! Any comments?

[NoMercy]

Are you bored?

"Any comments? "

You can not say pandas are coloured, ginge.

[Old_Geezer]

and earlier today I learned that black and white are not colours.
So there is the red panda and the ..er .... other one.

some are A, some are O and some are G.

Mick will get that one; it refers to an infamous and beloved ABer claiming Black & White are not colours.

And some are Gold

Absolute Black is the absence of all light, Absolute White is the presence of all light. As such, neither are termed colors. Markers at either end of the visible light spectrum.

Help me out here paul , what colour is this car ?

[Paul_M]

It's reflecting light so you can see it, therefore it's not absolute black.

And what colour is the Chauffeur, pesuming that it is he, at the passenger door and what colour is his coat - and his shoes?

[Mick-Talbot]

OK....so what colour is it?

[DTCwordfan]

And who used the adjective "Absolute" around here; we didnt. That is like saying Absolute Zero temperature - but prove it....esp with the possible evidence that there may be speed faster than light.

Panda cars used to be blue & white

[WF8MAN]

Yes, there's the Red Panda (and I don't mean the car) but that's not the point.
The person earlier was referring to the animal! This tautology is a bit tedious.

[Paul_M]

For practical purposes it's black, but technically it's not. Absolute may have been over the top.

'cos the Boys in Blue had never been to China back in the 50s, or their brains were frozen blue under their Gnome-like helmets - what's the origin of that term, Panda Cars?
