My favourite colour is black. There, I have said it. I can’t recall the number of times I got cornered about my favourite colour being black. People say it’s not a colour, okay what?! And others say, black is the colour when there’s the absence of any other colour, which I have to admit kinda makes sense. Whether you agree with black being a colour or not, you will definitely not go against the notion of black being the top choice for any outfit element.
