The Truth about My Name

Here's something for you all to read:

My name is BLACK.

First impression -- darkish kinda name, very ominous.

But as you think deeper, black has a very vivid meaning, as some people call it the colour of sadness and sorrow. Black is a mourning colour, and holds with it the deepness and feeling of a thousand woes.

Some people condemn themselves to wearing black, mainly as a memory or gesture of respect to a departed relative. Through this, they let their inner pain and torture come free, the black they wear a symbol of inner suffering. Some people find this escape for their sorrows a blessing, as it relieves them of the pain knowing that people share it with him/her.

However, black is not always gloomy.

In art, op(optical) art is mainly using black and white. It creates strong contrast, making the work all the more appealing.

Black is also fashionable, as is any strong colour. Simple designs using geometric shapes are very appealing nowadays, and fierce hues give the dead garments life and energy. Vibrant tones, such as florescent yellow, orange and green need a more subdued colour to balance it out. The first choice? Black.

From the scientific point of view, black is the colour that absorbs and radiates heat the best. Many scientific experiments have come to a successful conclusion by utilising the unique properties of black. In other words, black is as invaluable to us as any other colour.

So, black is back.

By the way, I got my inspiration to write this from here.
