Which is the better colour, black or white?
Colour is known as the ‘fill’ of objects, environment and even the skin of some people around us. It is defined as a visual sensation differing with wavelengths which results from the light that they may emit or transmit. My question is; ‘which is the better colour out of black or white?’ Black may not be considered a colour while white might and vice versa; however the attractiveness and appeal of these two ‘colours’ to those who perceive it is my main focus. Regardless of which colour is more suitable to a person’s standards; I am answering this question by thoroughly comparing the two different colours and will attempt to reach a conclusion of which is the dominant colour.
First off I will start with the colour black. Black is normally affiliated with feelings of depression which can be reflected through various things such as accessories or clothing. Black can cause powerful feelings of isolation and imply an inconspicuous nature of somebody who is wearing all black so they are not recognised. Black is a pure colour; the opposite of colours filled with vibrancy and passion and contains a much more direct approach. When black is worn, it can be perceived as sophisticated e.g. a person in an all-black suit for work or rebellious e.g. the common teenage punk rock attire. The colour black is known to stimulate an atmosphere of mysteriousness due to the secretive nature of the colour.
Black is the most common colour in sophisticated areas like the work field or formal gatherings, subsequently black is not the most welcome colour in more joyful and casual events. Pure black is an uncommon colour only found in things such as charcoal and not most natural resources; despite how common the colour is in everyday life.
Black is the colour of the extraordinary night sky which is a blanket to the stars and the moon. As black is the colour of darkness it is often associated with grief and mourning, or cold nights.
Black is a common colour seen on cars, clothes, and hair colours in everyday life although it is not preferred by all audiences; it is a necessity for many events and gatherings making it an unavoidable colour.
On to white. White is commonly perceived as an elegant and graceful colour and is associated with feelings of joy and excitement, reflected in various forms like decoration and luxuries. White can stimulate an atmosphere of high class and wealth due to how common white is used as a colour for expensive clothing and luxuries e.g. cars. When white is used for expensive clothing it implies a strong sense of superiority because of the attractiveness of the colour. The colour white is well known for its characteristics as a colour filled with purity even worn as traditional clothes for religious leaders or on a day like a wedding.
White is one of, if not the most common colour for decoration as it is used paint to make houses and rooms look more attractive. It is also the most common colour for plates especially at celebrations making the colour white a significant colour in everyday life.
White is strongly affiliated with celebration and is definitely one of the most common colours seen as it can also as a natural substance e.g. mushrooms.

Despite white being a very favourable colour when compared to other colours, black is still a very commonly used colour. Both colours are gender-neutral although men do tend to wear black more for work or events. Both colours have their advantages and disadvantages when compared to each other. White invokes a strong feeling of grace and elegance contrasting how Black invokes depression and isolation. White lacks appropriateness as it cannot be used for all events, e.g. a white suit cannot be worn to a funeral. White also lacks seriousness but this is not necessarily a bad thing as it can be seen a source of relief. Black can cause isolation and depression which are negative emotions that people would rather not feel. Black does not necessarily contribute to the welfare of society but only its appearance. However, despite all this black still implies sophistication and seriousness in the right moments which White may not be able to pull off. Although, white is a more common colour which people definitely favour more and invokes more positive feelings which can contribute to society’s growth.
As both colours have strong advantages and disadvantages it is hard to see without thoroughly comparing how beneficial which colour is. All in all, white is a better colour due to its high favour and preference compared to the more dull nature of Black. White is a simple colour but still full of vibrancy and joy; dominating the darkness and negativity that the colour Black may impose.
