Did you know that black is not a color, it is the absence of all color. When people speak of opposites, it is usually in terms of black and white. How many people do you know that just think in terms of black and white, with no middle ground? I don't know about you, but people that think only in those terms can be very difficult, at times. Have you ever been in a debate with someone that cannot see a common middle ground? Black, and its opposite white, represent polarities. Black absorbs all aspects of light, while white reveals, black conceals. Black is linked to the unknown or the unseen and has come to mean fearful or hidden. In times of uncertainty and fear, black can represent the energy of the threatening unknown.
Black is the most misunderstood color because think about it, a black tie dinner is very formal and elegant yet the same person who wore the black tie at dinner the night before, can go out the next day on his Harley, wearing a black leather jacket, and be seen as someone totally different.
On a positive note, black is seen as a restful emptiness into which anything may emerge and disappear once again. It is a mysterious color, providing a sense of potential and possibility. If you want to open the door to mystery and prepare yourself for the unknown, then buy yourself a black bedding set or a black bed in a bag set.
This is good to know. I have been looking for cotton sheets.
