1. colored

   Colored typically refers to an object or material that has or exhibits color, which is the characteristic of an entity as it appears to the eye, usually resulting from the way it reflects or emits light. This term has been used culturally and historically as a description for certain racial or ethnic groups; however, it is now largely considered outdated and inappropriate. Nevertheless, its modern usage predominantly pertains to art, design, and visual perception, describing anything that possess or display hues as opposed to being colorless, monochrome, or black and white.

1. Colored

   Colored is a term that was formerly used in the United States to refer to black people. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word colored was first used in the 14th Century. In other English-speaking countries, the term has varied meanings. In South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the term Coloured refers both to a specific ethnic group of complex mixed origins, which is considered neither black nor white, and in other contexts to people of mixed race; in neither context is its usage considered derogatory. In British usage, the term refers to "a person who is wholly or partly of non-white descent" and its use may be regarded as antiquated or offensive, and other terms are preferable, particularly when referring to a single ethnicity.
