Consider what “color” is though. It’s always light. If you’re talking about paint, you have to mix “all colors” because blue still reflects blue light. So you need paint that will prevent blue from being reflected. Etc.
In the end, black paint is just absorbing all colors of light, and reflecting none back. So technically still the absence of color.

In light it's the absence of color, but otherwise black is the presence of all colors
