Pierre-Auguste Renoir said, "I've
been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colors was black."
Black, the mysterious color! What
does it indicate to you; mystery, elegance, power, secret or authority? Since
ages unknown, Color black is one of the most misunderstood colors as people
often relate it to dark. Though pitch darkness looks black, we should notice
that it is not the color, but our lack of inability to see in the absence of
light which makes darkness eerie. Many of the established civilizations in the
past have held the black in high esteem. For example - Native Americans had high
opinion about the color black. They considered it to be color of fertility
since black soil gave life. In Japanese culture, black is a symbol of nobility,
age and wisdom, thus black belt is given as a mark of highest achievement in
martial arts. The color of the Abbasid Caliphs was also black, which is why we
see the black flags so frequently in Arab countries.
Even in modern days there have been people who have made the
color black their trademark. Johnny Cash, the famous country music icon was
lovely referred to the ‘man in black’ for his love for the color. Chanel, the
famous company is identified with color black too.
Scientifically black is not a color at all. When all the
light is absorbed and no color is reflected, the object appears black to an
eye. One of the reasons why black is associated with hidden, fearful or bad
experience and linked to the unknown or the unseen. But we also have to
acknowledge that black is a color of power and authority, which is skillfully
used by people to overwhelm others. Black sets itself aside from others with
its heavy and intense energy. It keeps others at arm's length. Black implies
self-control and discipline, independence and a strong will, and giving an
impression of authority and power; a reason why many professional prefer the
color black and it almost compulsory for the Lawyers, and judges to wear black
robe.
The fashion world considers black to be stylish, sexy,
elegant and powerful color which sends out a strong message. Though many colors
come in and go out of fashion, black constantly remains there, steadily holding
its ground and never going out of fashion even for once. Hence, the
colloquialism "X is the new black".
No party has ever gone by without a beautiful lady in black taking your breath
away.
We all use black at various times
to hide from the world around us in one way or another. Some of us use it to
hide our weight; others among us use it to hide our feelings, our fears or our
insecurities. But we cannot rule that
black can be an intimidating color, which does not encourage overt friendliness
because of the power it exudes. The salesman wearing all black will make a lot
of sales, but no friends! It radiates authority, but creates fear in the
process.
Affluent and success orientated women often
choose black as it can give an impression of elegance, sophistication and
confidence. Black is often associated with sexiness and seduction, as in the
temptress in sexy black lingerie creating an air of mystery and intrigue. It
can also imply submission to another (including a sexual partner). Teens use
the color black to show off their maturity, because it adds some seriousness to
their personality.
Personally, I never go out and
buy dresses in black but they end up in my wardrobe occasionally. I do go for
black purse and shoes though. They are must in my life all the time.
As for the 5 black things that I desire
and why……here is the list.
I own a black laptop, desktop, mobile and Dell Venue Pro tablet.
Unfortunately my computer and study desk is of light wood color, which does not
go well with the gadgets I own. Hence, the first thing I would like to replace
is my desk with something like this. I love the idea of corner desks which
makes working and accessing things around easier.
"People can have the Model T in any color - so long as
it's black." – quoted Henry Ford. But I would prefer to have The
Vorsteiner Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Widow, which is a breathtaking beauty.
A look at it reminds me of ‘Black Beauty’ by Anna Sewell which we had to read
as a part of our English classes in school. Back then I yearned to have a black
horse of my own, but today with the heavy weight (literally) I have become, I
would spare the horse and settle down for the Mercedes.
Next in my list is a well fitting black trouser with
material that feels good on my skin and which does not fade. Nothing can be
uglier than faded black trousers. You will never imagine how convenient it is
for me to pull out my now near death black trouser to go with any top instead
of looking around for matching colors. I have four black trousers at present
but they have seen better days. In earlier days when I used to wear sari, the
black blouse did the job.
A set of black pearls is another thing that has made its way
into my wish list of ‘Must have blacks’. No jewelry has ever appeared more
tempting to me than the black pearls with bit of silver to enhance its beauty. Like
the black trousers, the black set would be befitting for every dress and occasion.
Fresh Caviar is another thing on my list. Since ages, I have
been reading about this rare dish but have never got a chance to taste it. The
delicacy has been a part of stories I have read so often that I find it so
familiar; yet contrasting the familiarity, I don’t know what it tastes like. I
wish to have the taste of the black caviar (not orange) on my tongue and relish
it to my heart’s content.
So, good or bad there is no
denying we all love black and I would love few of the color black in my life as
well.
