Fender Black
Using Black To Bring Cool To Life
Using black to bring cool to life has been a well-known trick in almost every type of fashion for as long as people can remember. Clothiers understood hundreds of years ago that black is able to slim a person down if it’s worn correctly on the body. It is a completely timeless color and has done well in bringing style to a wide variety of fashions and things.
Think for a minute how common a black sport watch is these days. Almost no man who knows anything about colors fails to have one or two different types. Keep in mind that anything between black and its opposite, white, is just a shade variation of one of those colors. And a watch — whether digital or analog — in black can look stylish even when worn with raggedy dungarees.
Truly, the two colors that manage to look good with everything are black and white. Think about how really slick a brand-new car looks when it’s done up in black. Now, it might take a bit more work to keep something completely black clean but it might be worth it. Certainly some of the most famous movie cars in the world have been black. Think about it for a minute.
Even some of the greatest rock and rollers in the world — especially those who came over during the 1960s ‘British Invasion’ — looked at the color black as the best color for a couple of their favorite guitar types. Eric Clapton has played a black Fender Stratocaster for years, proving that a black electric guitar really stands out on stage. Clapton calls his guitar ‘Blackie.’
And just as the 1990s was known for a plethora of brightly colored clothing and many different objects, it would seem that this decade has been about stylish cool, which is exemplified by wide use of the color black. Motorcyclists — even those who zoom around on brightly colored Japanese bikes — all make sure they have at least one black helmet in their collection, to use one example.
It seems like black is also a color celebrated in song, especially rock songs (as Eric Clapton certainly would verify). For example, how many people remember the song ‘Back in Black?’ As a rock anthem, it’s hard to find a person who doesn’t remember when this song first broke out in wide play back in late 1980. ‘The years have flown but the song has shown, ‘ one would say.
The bottom-line about black is that it pretty much goes with everything and it goes in such a way that the image it projects is quiet cool and extreme competence in many applications. Of course, one can’t have all black in one’s life or one risks looking a little too far ‘out there, ‘ but a fair amount of black in the objects one owns can really say something.
