Black

"I've been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colors was black." -- Pierre-Auguste Renoir



In Wikipedia is written that Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light. Although black is sometimes described as an "achromatic", or hueless, color, in practice it can be considered a color, as in expressions like "black cat" or "black paint".

It is strange that black is so appealed to us. It is associated with death and evil, but at the same time with religion, fashion, sexuality, power, strength and intelligence. It stands for completely opposite ideas like: sin and holiness, wealth and poverty, good and bad.

The colour attracts us so much in everyday life. Basic things that surround us..black sky, black hair, black eyes(it is so fascinating to see black eyes . Especially when they are “burning” with an idea).


I guess it's really the "queen of all colours" , the mix of all that attracts the most.
