So. Why Black?

People ask me often: why do I wear black and nothing but black, all the time? Why is my car black? Why are all my computers black? Why is everything I can possibly have black…well, black? Or grey if I want some variety?

It's actually pretty simple. If it's black, you can just forget it.

I refer to it as "Garanimals for Adults." When you're dealing with clothing upon just waking up, why would you put your poor harried brain through having to figure out what goes with what? If A and B are both black, of course they go together. Case closed. Move on.

I realize there are people out there who share my appreciation for keeping certain aspects of their life as simple as possible. Because, let's face it, things we can't control are complicated enough.

And if all else fails, scientific studies have shown that black makes everything look 10% cooler than it actually is. And I don't know about you, but I could really use that.

So I don't care if you're a goth, a gamer who shuns sunlight or just a miscellaneous freak like myself: welcome to Colors Are Overrated. We will celebrate and feature all things black so you can have a one-stop shop for information about our favorite non-color. If you have something you think we should be aware of, please give me a ping using widgett at need coffee dot com. Danke.
