Black

I love the color black. It?s always my first color choice when dressing for a class, selecting a car, and buying shoes. I love the music first, but we all know that black is also the chosen color of many of the great metal/rock acts like: Metallica, BLS, KISS, and Slash.
Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner. When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black or gray background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange ? other very powerful colors ? black gives a very aggressive color scheme.
I was thinking about the great songs for class that have the word black in the title. This is the playlist I came up with:
Paint It Black-Rolling Stones-seated flats/sprints
Black Capricorn Day-Jamirouquai-standing climb
Black Ice-AC/DC-running with resistance
Black Magic Woman-Santana-standing climb
Black Sunshine-White Zombie-sprints
Black or White-Michael Jackson-standing climb
Back to Black (remix)-Amy Winehouse-seated flat
Black Cat-Janet Jackson-standing climb
Black-Pearl Jam-cool down
