What's the difference between achromatic and colour?
Achromatic
Definition:
(a.) Free from color; transmitting light without decomposing it into its primary colors.
(a.) Uncolored; not absorbing color from a fluid; -- said of tissue.
Example Sentences:

Colour
Definition:
(n.) See Color.
Example Sentences:
