What describes the composition of black color?

Combining warm tones only
Unequal combo of primary colors
Perfect combo of cool and warm tones
Equal parts of primary colors

The correct answer is: Equal parts of primary colors

Black color is created when all primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) are combined together in equal parts, resulting in an absence of color. Option A is incorrect because it only mentions warm tones, which are not sufficient to create black. Option B is incorrect because an unequal combination of primary colors will not result in a pure black color but instead a shade or tint of gray. Option C is incorrect because a perfect combination of cool and warm tones will also not result in a pure black color. Therefore, the only correct option is D, which describes the exact combination of primary colors necessary to create black.
