If white light is composed of all colors of the spectrum, is the color white the same?

Is the color black actually absent of color? And if white contains all colors of the spectrum, why is it considered "pure"?

I like what people are saying about our perception of something being "colored" is based purely on the light reflected and absorbed by the object. Something black absorbs all light (thus is colorless) which is why black clothing in the summer is a bad idea. White colored things reflect all light which is why wearing white in summer is a good idea. If there is NO light present than everything will be black. If there is light present but at a frequency other than white (say red) everything will either be black and some will be red. Does that mean that the world is composed of black and red things? Of course not. A great example of this is seen when one SCUBA dives. In the water as you go deeper the colors of the spectrum begin to fade out as they cannot penetrate the water. (I seem to remember that it starts at the red side, but I may be mistaken.) Anyway, at 130 feet, say, if you were to look around everything would seem extremely dull, dark and colorless. Does that mean that the fish and structure at 130 feet have no color? NO! Simply take a flashlight down and turn it on to reveal the vibrant colors of the deep. It's not that there is no color, it's that the (sun)LIGHT can't reach it.
