I would indeed say the car is black. And black by definition means the absence of color. Therefore I would be telling you that the car does not absorb color, and you might say it has a severe color defficiency. But that all makes for rather bland conversation, so I wouldn't go into so much detail. I would just tell you that the car is black.
If you ask me what time the sun comes up, I will not correct you and point out that the sun doesn't go up or down, it is merely an illusion caused by the rotation of the Earth which we cannot perceive from our position on the Earth looking out into space. That wouldn't answer your question. I would ignore the semantics of the situation and tell you what time dawn will occur.
If you are talking about the effect of gravity and suggest that dusk is caused by the Earth pulling the sun below the horizon, I will definitely correct you. We are not talking about cars, we are talking about colors.
