this is an old article I wrote in 2010
This is why BLACK is my favorite color. This is what it represents to me. It also can stand for other things but these are the good ones.
BLACK is a color known to absorb all light. light can symbolize knowledge and wisdom and info and I tend to be the type of person that stands back and absorbs all this stuff.
BLACK is and important symbol in the goth subculture and other related ones which are important to me.
BLACK is pretty and it doesn’t hurt your eyes like those dreaded bright colors.
BLACK looks good with pretty much any thing
BLACK is not as deceptive as colors can be.
BLACK HUMOR is an excellent way to look at the bright side of “bad” things?
BLACK has been used to symbolize the following:
- night- the best time of the day
- mystery – I tend to be a mysterious type of person
- fear – I like spooky things and to be spooky woooOOOOoooo0000!
- Depth – I can be a very deep person I like to really look into things that interest me and learn about them.
- emptiness – I prefer to keep my feelings minimal. they get in the way. sometimes i go a bit overboard though.. oops
- mourning – I guess its a good color to represent mourning we all have those times.
- sophistication – I like to be sophisticated sometimes
- power- I like to be in control of things. one reason I don’t drink or do drugs.
