In this brief segment, a colour expert explains why many people are drawn to black, describing it as a blocking and hiding colour that offers a sense of concealment. She notes that when asked about colours to avoid, the answer isn’t about the colour itself but about the emotional function it serves. The expert argues that defaulting to black, grey, or beige often signals a feeling of overwhelm, reflecting an internal state of grayscale. She emphasizes that the colours surrounding us can subconsciously mirror our inner emotional landscape, and that we can deliberately shift our mood by introducing different colour frequencies into our environment.

the reason why a lot of us are attracted to black is that it blocks things. It hides us. So when I get asked, oh, you know, what colour would you avoid? It's never about avoiding a colour. Yes. It's always about just understanding what it brings. And defaulting to black or grey or beige is a sign of overwhelm. And I think understanding that is really important that actually the colors that you're choosing to surround yourself with subconsciously can often be a reflection of what's going on on the inside. That if that's in grayscale right now, you can intentionally shift that through the frequencies around you as well.
