We dont. They are not a whole step. A whole step has one note 
inbetween,....one key inbetween... doenst matter whether or not what 
colour they are. F-F# is a half step, E-F is a half step, E-F# on the 
other hand is a whole step.

Once again. A half step =  a semitone = 100 cents.  A whole step = a 
whole tone = 200 cents.
