Black as a color would absorb all visible frequencies of light.
A "black light" is not actually black, but rather emits most of its light in the ultraviolet frequencies. This light is invisible to our eyes except that it interacts with certain materials that fluoresce (glow in the dark) when they absorb UV light. These lights are also used for indoor plants that need UV light to grow.
