Black

Does the color black hold any significance to you? If so, what significance?

The only significance it holds from me is that it attracts a ton of heat from the sun.

Black lightsabres are pretty cool. So are darkblades. Black makes a pretty pimp car colour too.

Yeah. It does tend to do that.

I tend to wear it a lot.....LJS9502_basic

Why?

Good colour for a lot of things. It's just an all round good colour.

Why?

Its a cool color. Especially a rich dark black.Tauruslink

But it's the absence of color! rarararararar :twisted:

edit: Well, light, but...you get it.

Yep, it sure...sure does. :?

I associate black with darkness. Darkness means I can get some sleep at night without it being becoming bright before 2 am, or not getting dark at all. Probably don't have it bad here compared to up north, but it's very annoying. I don't think black is a very tasteful color if it's only a solid color black with no variation in shading but it can be pretty cool sometimes.

Half of my wardrobe consists of black, the sun makes it heat up a hell of a lot, it can make things look sharp and sleek, it is a slenderizing color, i require it for sleep, I prefer my pearls and diamonds black.... thats all i can think of right now. xhellcatx

Black diamonds! Sounds expensive.

[QUOTE="xhellcatx"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] It matches my dark heart.....:xLJS9502_basic

It's just a great colour that always works.

Black is one of my favorite colors.

It's quite slimming.

i thought black wasn't a color, it was a shade?

Huh. Good to know, but I don't think too many ladies would prefer black diamonds over a clear diamond.

Not if you use it to color your text on Gamespot, haha.

Edit: Black..noun.... the color at one extreme end of the scale of grays, opposite to white, absorbing all light incident upon it

[QUOTE="markop2003"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] No actually black is a color that doesn't reflect light......LJS9502_basic

Isn't the only reason you can see it, the fact that there is color around it?

My favorite color of clothes.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="markop2003"] It's the absence of colour as if there is no light a person sees black. Absence of light = absence of colourAstrapsody

By that logic then a blue figure in a red room is technically only visible because the rest of the room is not blue. If the rest of the room is blue, then the room is object is colorless? It's still the color blue. Same with black. It's only considered to be achromatic in the umbra part of a shadow. If you're in a well lit black room then the color black is there, clearly visible, isn't it?

black is beautiful

I'm talking about the spectrum...not lights out. You can SEE the color black in daylight.LJS9502_basic

Specific light frequency = colour

No light = no colour

No light = Only black visible.

No colour = black

Black = No colour

What I learned in Physics =/= dictionary definition, apparently. Color is light. Black is the absence of light. The only reason you can "see" the "color" black in daylight is because it's surrounded by other colors.

I got some black shorts, shoes and shirts.

No, that's wrong. You see blue because the object you're looking at is reflecting blue light. Black, on the other hand, reflects no light.
