I consider them colors but technically, they're not. Black is the absorption of the entire color spectrum and white is the reflection of the entire color spectrum.

This is wrong. What you're probably thinking about right here, is pigments. You are correct about the wavelengths though

In physics, white light is the combination of all colors, while black is the absence of all colors.

If you're talking about a white shirt, then yeah, white light is being reflected back at you.
