The colour black

 Black

1.
lacking hue and brightness; absorbing light without reflecting any of the rays composing it.


2.
characterized by absence of light; enveloped in darkness: a black night.


Today's colour is black. Quiet, practical, composed, ambiguous, conservative, uncertain, bold.
Black is a contradiction - it is both the combination of all the colours and the absence of any colour. It is commonly associated with negativity, mourning, solemnity, hopelessness. Yet black is also hope. It could be hiding a million possibilities. Black only exists in our imaginations - there is nothing in the natural world that is completely black.  









 Things that are good that are black:

Black cats
Blackberry and apple stew made by my Mum
Black patent shoes
'Blackbird' by the Beatles
Black Indian ink
A black starry sky.
