"Image" has little to do with how the medium is patterned. Your eye sees white and it sees black (or the absence of light). The color of the canvas and the color of the marking material is a different question. 🤓

They're white too. If they weren't you would be able to see anything

Black and white images printed on a page are black images. Black and white images on a video display are white images.
