what colour is a colour-less ball? in most cases, the ball would be white but white is also a colour so the ball would be transparent but there's no such thing called a transparent ball

Why can't there be a transparent ball?

I thought white was considered the absence of color or something like that...

A colorrless ball would be black, and a white ball would be considered multi colored.

White is not a colour. It's a tint.

the color on the outside of the ball would most-likely be reflected or refracted (not sure which) in.

You have transparent balls, so that works :/

White isn't a color.

It would be a colorless ball. You can't say it has a color, even after saying it is colorless. That just doesn't make any sense.
