THE COLOUR BLACK
Forever, black has been a dominant colour, evoking strong emotions and having more power than any other colour, and too much can even be overwhelming to us as it creates a simple sense of nothingness. A classic colour for typography and clothing, being able to communicate polar themes: sophistication and class, or evil and negativity, or death, with the collaborative ability to combine with any other colour successfully, and the ability to create illusion such as making us appear slimmer.
As a colour, black has authority in many senses, but what goes dismissed is that black is not really a colour, which is where the 'fake colour' concept is introduced - If we take a scientific approach to this topic, physics explains how a colour is visible light with a specific wavelength, which black does not have. Therefore, black is simply absence of light, and behaves ignorantly in this sense. Whilst red, yellow and blue are true physical colours, black is an outcast. I find it intriguing that black has it's own individual behaviour and personality because of this.
In my opinion, black is the most powerful 'colour' that exists.
