Black defined is the absence of all color. Chanel said, “Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”. Rather than overpowering a space, black walls actually recede and allow art, objects and furnishings to stand out. Notice in the powder room by Windsor Smith below, the black walls create a backdrop allowing the carerra marble and nickel sink to stand out. If the walls had been gray or any medium value of color, the effect would not be achieved. Layered black on black, set against crisp white trim or paired with accents of rich color, black will always add style and sophistication to a space.
"I've been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colors was black." -- Pierre-Auguste Renoir
