color

Colors can be used to describe a person’s actions and personality. The color that I feel describes me is black. Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown, such as black holes in space. It usually has a negative meaning, in words such as blacklist, black humor, Black Death. Black represents strength and authority, and is considered to be a formal, elegant, and prestigious color, in clothing such as a black suit and tie. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner, when designing for a gallery of art or photography; people usually use a black background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors, and when it is combined with red or orange, it creates a very aggressive color scheme.

I feel black is the descriptive color of me. I feel this because of its association with mystery. Not many people know me well, and think I am somewhat mysterious, or have no opinion whatsoever. People usually label people they do not know as a certain type; I feel that not many people know me well enough to put a label on me. The mysteriousness of the color black describes me, due to not many people knowing who I really am or anything like that.
