In additive synthesis (light), White is a combination of all colors (Red, Green, and Blue being the primaries)... In subtractive synthesis (pigment), White is the absence of all color.
Of course, white is not really a color at all, but is used as a color reference.
A person can technically argue that black and white are the same, because neither one is a color of itself, and both are the combination of all colors, but don't expect anyone to believe it (they are exact opposites).
