Topic: Why the hell don't classic Gameboy games have color?

technically black white are not colors ... several years in highschool with an art teacher drilling that in my head kinda makes me have to nitpick this =w=

Isn't technically one the absences of color and the other is a mix of all colors? or something like that

Technically, Game Boy games are black only. They only appear to be "green" due to the colouration of the screen of the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Lite, for instance, which has a neutral coloured screen in comparison to the original Game Boy, appears to display games with pixels in variable shades of black (or grey if you will). "White" pixels do not appear to exist in original Game Boy games. The technical majesty of white pixel gaming would not grace a Nintendo handheld until the release of the Game Boy Color.

"the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light."

Yes they are. Tell your art teacher that science wins this fight

Well, doesn't black result from the object failing to reflect the light, thus not producing a sensation in the eye?

A truely black object, which doesn't exist, would reflect no photons. However, your photoreceptor cells in your eye still perceive this ''absence'' of photons and produce a signal nontheless that produces a black image in your brain.

The Game Boy is only capable of producing four different shades. For the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Color, these shades could be four different colors, Games were never programmed with color, except for those designed for the Super Game Boy or Game Boy Color.

No, color did not exist on original Game Boy hardware.
Maybe you're thinking of Game Boy Color (or GBA, which used built-in GBC hardware to run GB/GBC games), which would automatically apply preset colors when it detects its playing an original GB game.
