How do you feel about the color BLACK? email this discussion to a friend?

Colors always have an impact on the setting - whether it's something we are wearing or the background for a setting. With the color black, I have found that my reactions are always extreme - I either love it or hate it; can't seem to find any inbetween or neautral ground.

I feel black is a powerful color with a lot of personality. You cannot ignore black. You cannot pretend it doesn't exist. The color forces you to acknowledge it and react to it - regardless of the kind of reaction. No other color does that to me.

It can be argued that black is not really a color; rather it is the absence of color. That makes the effect of black all the more bizzare and noticable!

What about you, fellow mylotters? How does the color black make you feel? Good or bad? Positive or negative? Happy or sad? Neutral or extreme reactions?
I'd love to know.

In art class, they taught us that Black was technically a shade, instead of a colour.

It depends on the way it's used. As a colour to paint your room, it's a little depressing, and they do say that colours can effect your mood. However, as a tight shirt, it's better in black. Plus, you can wear it anywhere.


myLot reputation of 82/100. JAG2009 (200)   ranked 1,172 out of 19,392 in questions & answers  3 months ago

So you're saying that black does not even qualify as a full fledged color?
And still it gets all those reactions out of people!
Wow! That is powerful.

black is safe to pair with other different colors. it may may project sad and low mood but symbolizes solidarity and strength.

for formal occasion black boost my confidence. i feel so sexy in black gown.

i seldom wear black especially shirts because it's hot, for casual occasion i prefer light colors.

people always say different color has a different meaning.In my dream,i always think the good color is blue,green and purple,and the bad ones are black,red,and yellow.i think the black stands for darkness for example the murder. the underworld.the red stands for the blood and sad.so if let me choose some colors only,i think i dont choose black.


myLot reputation of 82/100. JAG2009 (200)   ranked 1,172 out of 19,392 in questions & answers  3 months ago

So, fishpool, you're saying that black brings out negative feelings in you; gives you negative vibes? I guess that is the case for many people, not just you.
Thanks for sharing.

As a graduate and professional analyst in this subject, I can honestly tell you that it has been scientifically established, that colors DO have a most definite profound affect upon behavior.

Be that as it may...black IS NOT a color, but rather the ABSENCE of color. To the mind, it is the "stopping-off" point if you will, and it is for this reason that one would either "choose" to love it or hate it. Black, is neither negative nor positive. This is the typical PERCEPTION of it. Grey on the other hand, being the combination of white and black, IS the neutral...and tends to place a person in a state of undecidedness. Black actually DRAINS the body of energy, and will put a person in an EXACT state of excitedness, or disfunctional depression.

We are constantly bombarded by color(s) everyday, and indeed, they do affect our mood. What's truly amazing though, is that even blind people CAN tell the difference between colors. This is due to the fact that each color of the spectrum has its own anxtrom wavelength, and is the reason why we "feel" or are "affected by" their energies, and therefore determines our mood color choices. The higher the anxtrom level, the more affect the color's energy output has upon our mood. BLACK, has NO energy output. On the spectrum analysis graph, it appears similar to that of a flat-lined heart patient. -------- zip, nada, nothing.

Bizarre? Maybe.
But interesting? Yes!

Cheers;

That is a well-researched, detailed response on the color black, or should I say, the 'absence of color' that is represented by black.
Thank you for your response.
I did not know that black has "no energy output." Isn't it interesting how we think we know certain things or have impressions about certain things, and yet, we may not be aware of any scientific reasons for the same?!
Yes, I agree, black is definitely, undoubtedly interesting, albeit in a bizarre fashion.


myLot reputation of 86/100. commanderxo (471)   ranked 287 out of 19,392 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Ahhh...if only we knew HOW much we were unaware of...just think of what we COULD become aware of on many levels? Colors, mmmm? Included.

Happy myLotting;

Basically it is believed black is a confluence of all colours. So it can express and suit all moods and situations. I have never felt any bad or good about the colour black. But i personally like black colour and also a black costume irrespective of the situation and environment.


myLot reputation of 82/100. JAG2009 (200)   ranked 1,172 out of 19,392 in questions & answers  3 months ago

So you say that black does not make you feel good or bad, and yet you have a good feeling towards it? A feeling that is good enough that you don't mind wearing anything in that color?
Again, I feel, that says a lot about how effective black is - unlike a lot of oter colors.
Thank you for your response.

Hmmm the color black symbolizes elegance to me. However, my reaction to the color black depends on cloth/product it is on. Imagine a black, sleek mobile phone!- Wow; I think black is a color that suits all. It matches with any shade or surrounding color!

I have started wearing more of blacks shades now a days because it hide my shapeless body blush.


myLot reputation of 82/100. JAG2009 (200)   ranked 1,172 out of 19,392 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Elegance? So true...I must agree with you. So black "symbolizes" elegance to you. Does that mean you feel elegant any time you're in black?
