Black goes with everything.

During the last two days I was thinking, ‘what should I write for my blog. I can’t keep it as my first entry forever.’

Hence I began surfing and reading my friends blog for inspiration; stealing for ideas actually, after all ‘a good artist copies, but a great artist steals.’

Then it struck me, eight of the ten blogs (may be exaggerated to prove my point) use black as their primary colour. Mere coincidences, maybe not, as most of the blogs are my friends’. This establishes for a fact that my network seem to like black- a lot. Either that or is just a cool colour for a web site, or in this case a blog.

As for me, my perception evolved. My understanding is at present, ‘black goes with anything not everything.’ But I must say black is really making a comeback.

I owe this to the gaining popularity of platinum credit cards. The advertising of these cards these couple of years gives the impression that black- is a ‘lifestyle’.

This lifestyle is apparently taking flight. If my memory serves me well, the Cannes Film Festival dinner gala was black themed: everything form the decorations to the food was black. Sony-Ericsson and Motorola are selling special black editions of their phones. Also, both newer iPods now come in black editions too.

Even though, with these landmark events, black is likely being just a fad.
