Honestly, I was completely and utterly lost the first time I read through the excerpt. Even a second read through did little to clear my confusion, so I simply let the thoughts ferment for a while in my mind before returning to compose my reflections on the material. The author spends the most time on—or what seemed to take up most of the passage, I should say—the concept of black and white. I probably came up with more questions than I did answers whilst thinking on it, but one thought that stuck with me was, from what I understand, the idea of black and white being the only ‘true’ colors. I usually think of black and white as opposites, but really, it’s more accurate to describe them as inverses of each other. In terms of pigmentation, black is all the colors combined while white is the absence of pigment. However, in terms of light, black is the absence of light while white is all the colors combined. Both black and white can be thought about and described as all colors combined, making them the ‘true’ colors, normal colors then simply being facets or parts of the whole, hence the designation of black and white as the only ‘true’ colors that initially confused me.
