I recently heard on TV that a woman accidentally 'black clothes are very elegant'.
I heard it very strange because I had little interest in clothes.
And the moment I hear this, I have a question in my head: Why do people feel that black clothes are elegant?
If there is a black flower, we say, 'The flower is beautiful. Or is it elegant? "
I do not think black flowers will feel beautiful.
In addition, the peacock with beautifully colored feathers generally looks more beautiful than the black crow.
Thus, birds with colored feathers generally appear more beautiful than achromatic.
Also, even if it is an achromatic color, a magpie with white and black colors is more familiar than a crow with black feathers.
If a woman's lips were painted with a blue or black lipstick, the woman's face would look pale, as if she had no blood.
In other words, black clothes and black lips give us different feelings.
An achromatic color refers to colors that have no saturation, such as black, gray, and white.
An achromatic color is a color that appears when light is uniformly absorbed and reflected from the entire region of visible light under natural light.
In other words, the higher the degree of reflection of light, the closer to white, and the less reflex, the closer to black color.
Coloration, on the other hand, is the color that appears when light is absorbed and reflected in a specific region (ie, a portion) of visible light.
If we look at a blue object, it looks blue in our eyes because it does not absorb the blue and reflects it.
In other words, we are looking at the color that an object reflects.
Most of the clothes that are usually worn in a formal place (which requires careful attention to others) are mostly achromatic.
On the other hand, people usually wear colored clothes more often in non-formal places such as exercise, climbing or outing.
For example, in the case of mountain climbing clothes, there are many colored clothes with blend of blue and red.
There is a difference in the preference of black and white among achromatic colors depending on the sexes in the case of suits.
In other words, the man's suit is mostly black. It is rare for a man to wear a white suit and white shoes at a formal seat.
However, women 's suits are often seen in white as a piece or two piece. Also, the women's wedding dress is all white.
The reason for this may be that the inner psychology that women want to reveal themselves to the outside is larger than men.
With this in mind, I have observed the color of the clothes people wear on the streets these days.
Many find themselves wearing black and white clothing in achromatic colors.
Occasionally, you may be wearing completely colored clothes, but most of the time, they are usually worn in an achromatic (for example, black) pants and colored clothing in tops or vice versa.
From this point of view, it is possible to deduce the reason why people like jeans.
In other words, the dark blue of jeans is a color close to black, so the color of the jeans seems to give a comfortable and good feeling to the people around.
However, unlike current jeans, the first jeans were clothes for miners.
Also, the jeans that were first made were said to be blue, not blue. It was Levi Strauss who made his first jeans in the 1850s, and he was a businessman who supplied a military tent in the United States.
But he made an enormous amount of tents for delivery to the army, but the stain was wrong and the way to the army was blocked.
But Strauss was the beginning of jeans that made these troubled tents the hardest pants for miners.
Why do people enjoy more achromatic colors than formal clothing in formal places?
And why does not this preference for black clothing apply to crows?
Generally, people prefer to wear achromatic clothes rather than colored clothing in formal places.
Men also like black clothes more than white ones in achromatic colors. Perhaps there is an inner psychology that considers people's black clothes to be more representative of their authority than formal ones in a formal place.
Personally, I guess this difference is because humans have gone through a long hunting period.
Men who hunted in hunting times would have been better able to hunt without revealing themselves to the outside.
However, women who were in charge of child care and living in a safe home would have been relatively free from this constraint than men.
Considering that the Sumerian civilization, which made the world's first cuneiform script, began about 7000 years ago, civilization has only recently begun.
In other words, if one generation is counted as 30 years, the period is very short so that about 230 generations have passed since the Sumerian civilization.
Therefore, many of the present habits hidden in human actions will be formed through pre-Sumerian generation (mainly hunting and gathering age).
From this point of view, the fact that both men and women wear colored clothes during the hunting season would have been dangerous behavior that clearly manifested themselves outside.
Therefore, it can be seen that the group's common rejection of this behavior at that time appears to be present.
