White is definitely definite, but there are dark blues that are
practically indistinguishable from black to my eyes in certain lights,
especially with lighter blues around. I bought some very-dark-blue pants
for work thinking they were black because it was inside a shop (with
non-natural light) and they were with some lighter blue ones. With my
uniform top (this is for work; I work at a supermarket. My school
uniform is a proper one with college pants and a blazer and such) in the
sun, they look much bluer.
