Think of this color… what comes in your mind? The Color BLACK
Now associate this color with your feeling…
Different people may think differently and I think especially in case of BLACK.
When I consciously thought of this color, I saw Shahrukh Khan wearing a black suit having a glass of wine at a celebrity party. Sometimes (perhaps often!) I also think of myself in this way. (lol) :-)
Ok, many of you might think like this but there may be an opposite view also, that we’ll discuss shortly.
Now, unwrapping the ripples of my mind around Black, I found many myths, tales, beliefs, etc., about this color.
If there’s a discussion about darkness, the evil, violence, disaster, calamity, etc., and if asked to put a color to connote these traits, BLACK is specially chosen. At some places in the world, as a darkest hue, black color clothes are worn for mourning.
It is quite reasonable that people belonging to a racial group having brown to black skin, especially one of African origin, or belonging to an American ethnic group descended from African peoples having dark skin, are called BLACK. Even Indians were named BLACK by British because of the skin color. This is as what we see. But there also exist some unreasonable myths about Black:
Especially, in our country Black is associated with many superstitions. The Magic that harms others and makes the most abysmal stuffs that causes the disaster in somebody’s life, has also been prefixed with Black and known as “Kala Jaadu” or Black Magic. Why our ancestors have chosen this particular color? why not Red Magic, Blue or Green Magic? Not going so far, here at my home my mother forbid us to buy a black colored vehicle…I never know why, though we could wear black clothes!!! I think there must be Something in her mind that is probably unreasonable.
BLACK. Interesting color…isn’t it?
It might be possible that you also got some gloomy thought when I asked u to think.
Whatever the thought may be, the reason we’ll speculate soon…
Just take another phase, i.e. the positive phase of Black. You’ll find thousands of Black points about BLACK but rarely find White ones…and so have I.
Well, Black as a party wear is the top choice. Isn’t it? I never come to know why is it. May be because it makes feel so royal, so resplendent & very dazzling. But is it the reason? Why it’s so splendid when worn as a party dress? Whereas the same color has got an uncountable curses?
There is one more point about black, which will meet the same question as above: Black also symbolizes a description of a positive balance on a company's financial statements. The phrase "in the black" is widely used to refer to the condition of companies that have been profitable in their last accounting period. Well it has got a reason. This term is derived from the color of ink used by accountants to enter a positive figure on a company's financial statements. If they used to use blue ink instead, we might call them “companies in the blue”. But if black was so bad color then why did they use that for such a positive reason? (Well, I guess they were very smart & modern, far from stupid superstitions…right?)
Not any other positive point I know right now, but if you know you can share with me…
BLACK. Lets have a look at more fare, i.e. our Scientific view & try to clear this dilemma about The Black. I think now it’ll be manifested simply….
Scientifically, Black can be defined as the visual impression experienced in directions from which no visible light reaches the eye. Hence, that would be unbiased to say that the life of a blind is Black.
The ambiguity of good & bad can also be cleared by the following description:
Pigments that absorb light rather than reflect it back to the eye "Look Black". A black pigment can, however, result from a combination of several pigments that collectively absorb all colors. If appropriate proportions of three primary pigments are mixed, the result reflects so little light as to be called "BLACK".
Similarly, if we compare our worldly issues with this scientific theory, we will find that BLACK is the color which includes every aspect of life good or bad. May be because of this, there are some good opinions as well as bad ones about this ultimate color BLACK.
This is just my speculation, which I found by digging deep into BLACK.
It will make more interesting if you share your speculations or the facts you know about BLACK.
