It had been a long time since we wrote a post about colors! We’ve already told you about the feelings and psychological implications of pink, white, green, blue, orange, yellow and red, but we’ve realized that one of the most important ones is missing. A basic! How do pretty black fabrics affect you and others? Why do you feel good in this color? What does it say about you?
In today’s post, we’ll tell you all about it and, while we’re at it, show you some of the fabrics in this color that are currently available on the website.
What about you? Are you one of those people who love black, or do you feel as if you’re in mourning when you wear it?
Pretty black fabrics: what do they say about you?
Black is a color with contradictory characteristics. Many people don’t feel comfortable wearing black because they see it as too dark, sad, gloomy… In its most negative sense, it is associated with bad things. You only have to think of black money, black sheep, the black market, black magic…
However, many other people wear it every day and even choose it as their favorite color. This is because it is also associated with elegance and a touch of mystery. Elegance consists of that rejection of flashy things, which indicates that we need nothing more than our own personality to illuminate our presence. That’s why black represents this quality.
By dressing in pretty black fabrics, we embrace that elegance that doesn’t take risks, that opts for sobriety and minimalism and seems to say: «I don’t need adornments to shine».
Another particularity of black is that it changes the colors placed next to it through contrast. Something curious happens with the combination of black and white: it signals what is unequivocal, truth, clarity… Black printed on white has a powerful attraction for us. That’s why we like spaces and environments that combine these two colors so much, just as Nordic design does.
This review wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t talk about that touch of rebelliousness championed by black. Think of motorcyclists in their black leather jackets, rock lovers, the Gothic aesthetic… They adopt this color as an emblem because it represents their desire to defy the rules and live outside them, freely and independently.
So, as you can see… Black is anything but boring.
Stop by the store and rebel by choosing a few pretty black fabrics for your next projects.
