I'd say that a prism can be any color you want it to be. Put it on black paper, it will be black. (Wait, black isn't a color either) Anyway. . . put it on a red tomato, it will be red. Put it in the grass and it will be green. . . etc.

In that case, why would I be worrying about what color it is? It's black.
By the way, are any prisms made out of black glass? I've never seen one.

Seems the word 'prism' could figuratively be applied to our own eyes, when colored by our experiences and resultant presuppositions.The part that wasn't stupid was that I think Bridget96 has made a wonderful comparison. The rest was a mixture of nattering and YART. There, B--I think our sighs cancelled each other out. It is true, Max. I am not especially eager to become a...a... that thing. Especially not after visiting a site that has a remarkable likeness to Tsuwm.

What color is a prism
I suppose this is a Zen type question, like the sound of a single hand clapping..

Aah, but Bart Simpson answered that one years ago.
