Black Colour Theory

The meaning of the colour Black

You are powerful! Yes, independent and strong-willed!

Think for a moment about BLACK...

Implying new beginnings, Your Colour Black is often intimidating, unapproachable or even unfriendly because it exudes Power. Intimate, effective interpersonal communication can be quite difficult if you are wearing black or otherwise have Black’s intimidating presence about you.

Ironically, Black can be very seductive, even sexy! Black can imply either Temptation and/or Submission. Think of the Vixenish Temptress in sexy black dress or lingerie implying Mystery and Intrigue. For some, Mystery is very alluring to the point of obsession. Meanwhile, if you choose to wear Black, others may see Submissiveness suggested. Think for a moment of the Priest who is most submissive to God, wearing black robes daily.

Yet, when you’re doing Your Colour, you’re in line with the “Bad Guys in Black” in movies! That’s because Black symbolizes Death, which engendered fear in ancient peoples. It also historically represents the soil, which people were buried in. Of course, nowadays we recognize that our soil is the birthbed of SO much!

Whatever message you may intend to give out, you love to create a stir! Unlike Orange, however, the energy you stir up in Black is commanding, and implies disciplined self-control, complete independence, a very strong will to be dealt with, and an aura of power and authority.

If you’re trying to accomplish a goal, wearing black often helps you get there. Selling something? Then wearing all black often a lot of sales, but don’t expect to make friends with someone you just sold to when you were wearing black! Black radiates authority, but generally creates fear in the process. Your Black says, “The new beginning is NOW!”

Black being Your Colour, you absorb negative energy. While carrying something black with you to ward off negativity or harm is recommended, wearing a lot of black draws negative energy into your Mind, Body and Soul. You need to find healthy means for divesting yourself of negative energy, so it doesn’t toxify your Body and stunt your evolution!

You may be conservative, conventional, and serious, and/or maybe sophisticated or very dignified - Your Black represents all of these characteristics well. Whether you’re the Black Tie Event person, perhaps connected to affluence and success, or choosing to acknowledge Life’s pain and traumas (more of Black’s symbolism), you’re very grounded in powerful communication and possibility. Let your Black express in a way which engages conversation and Love - This will inspire your full self-expression!
