They are because space is black.
So camouflage renders you invisible ? I think the word you're looking for is 'indiscernible'.
They are because space is black.

"A red rose absorbs all colours but red; red is therefore the one colour that it is not." (Perdurabo)
Just thought I'd throw that in. You know ... because.
Enmos said:
How does an object absorbing a wavelength make it the associated color ?
Black is to colour (or color), what zero is to Numbers. Even though it's an absence, it still has this naming convention suggesting it exists. Namely zero exists as a number and Black exists as a colour, even though it's the absence of colours.
Because it does not refuse that color.
The line comes from one of Perdurabo's Lies, which are metaphysical riddles of a sort:
ΚΕΦΑΛΗ Μ_____________________
THE HIMOG
A red rose absorbs all colours but red; red is therefore the one colour that it is not.
This Law, Reason, Time, Space, all Limitation blinds us to Truth.
All that we know of Man, Nature, God, is just that which they are not; it is that which they throw off as repugnant.
The HIMOG is only visible in so far as He is imperfect.
Then are they all glorious who seem not to be glorious, as the HIMOG is All-glorious Within?
It may be so.
How then distinguish the inglorious and perfect HIMOG from the inglorious man of earth?
Distinguish not!
But thyself Ex-tinguish: HIMOG art thou, and HIMOG shalt thou be.

Typing with your eyes shut and such like isn't that difficult. In fact if your hands are correctly placed on a keyboard, you'll find there are ridges on two keys (F and J) to centre your hands. It's there to aid typists in placing their hands in proximity of the keys each hand is suppose to operate. In fact when you type properly you aren't even suppose to look at your keys, but the screen you are typing on. This means anything you write and even dealing with spelling mistakes can all be done "Blindly".
