[AGL] all colors plus black and white

[Jon Ford]

What Mike is saying might be true for purely abstract painting  produced 
according to a particular ideology of art. However, if you stretch this kind 
of thiking too far, it starts to seem like "my advanced culture is 
inherently superior to your 'primitive' culture." We could debate about this 
too, but it likely be a rather unfruitful discussion.
