Looking at it realistically, white is not the collection of all colors. Light is the collection of all colors and the human eye typically interprets light as being white, but just because a thumb is a finger doesn't mean a finger is a thumb. And mixing a bunch of paint together technically doesn't make black... it makes sludge. Looking close enough, you can vaguely make out the colors that were mixed to make it. Black is black is black. There is nothing mixed into it that can be identified apart from it. True black is the absence of all light thus the absence of all color.
