Adding Black To Bring Cool To A Life

Using black to bring cool to life has been a well-known trick in almost every type of fashion for as long as people can remember. Clothiers understood hundreds of years ago that black is able to slim a person down if it’s worn correctly on the body. It is a completely timeless color and has done well in bringing style to a wide variety of fashions and things.
Consider a black sport watch; everybody knows that the two colors that go with everything (black and white) are opposite ends of the color spectrum. Everything else in between is just a shade or two different from those colors. Stylish, cool and very functional looking, such a watch really manages to look good no matter the wrist or the style of watch, in truth.
Truthfully, just about anybody who knows and understands how color is used realizes that black is one of those ‘must have’ colors. Think about how nice a brand-new car looks when it is decked out in a lustrous and deep black. It just seems a bit more dangerous even when it’s an economy car, and even though it might take a bit more effort to keep it clean. Certainly, movie heroes have driven black cars for decades.
Rock ‘n roll also has known the color black and has used it well ever since it broke big-time in the late 1950s. For example, Eric Clapton — the British rock and roller who first came to prominence in the 1960s — has sported a Fender Stratocaster guitar in that color and which he has affectionately named ‘Blackie.’ Truly, he and that black electric guitar seem joined at the hip, literally.
Just as the 1990s was a decade of bright colors this new millennium seems to be more about stylish cool, and even motorcyclists — many of whom like very bright Japanese superbikes — realize that having a black helmet in the collection is the way to go when trying to project a certain image out on the road. Certainly, most Harley-Davidson riders wouldn’t be caught with anything but such a helmet.
Popular music has featured a number of very memorable songs that feature that color. AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black’ is one example of a timeless rock ‘n roll classic that sounds just as good today as it did 29 years ago, when it first came out. Go shopping for anything these days and it’s a sure bet that something will be brought home that features the use of black as the dominant color.
At its heart, black is probably one color that anyone who has difficulty matching up things will want to have extensively in his or her life. This doesn’t mean going with black walls and a blacklight, though. Rather, what it means is when shopping and in doubt, match it up with the color black if you want to make sure you bring a little stylish cool to the game.
