The Color Black

COLOR THEORY


K.I.T.T.

K.I.T.T., which stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand was a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am and in my opinion the star of the show Knight Rider. In case you didn’t know, the show was about Michael Knight and his adventures taking down bad guys with a talking car that was equipped with various gadgets. The best parts of the show were the back and forth between car and driver, we have talking cars now but imagine if they got pissed off with you and took control of the wheel. K.I.T.T. was probably my favorite black car of the 80s.


Black Diamonds

Black diamonds have always had a certain level of mystique. The fact of the matter is that black diamonds are rarer than their white counterparts. Some believe that the black diamonds come from space as a result of meteor impacts However, many people don’t know that diamonds aren’t that rare and that the price is inflated because the volume of diamonds on the market is tightly restricted. The mining of diamonds has been linked to funding wars in Africa and countless human rights violations. The largest cut black diamond is the Karloff Noir at 88 karats, the much larger rough diamond named Sergio comes in at 3,167 karats.


Ravens

The raven is very important in many cultures as a sign of prophecy or things to come. I have never really wanted to own a bird but I have always admired them. Relatives have owned a variety of species, but I have found them either very noisy or vicious creatures, but more often than not very curious and comical creatures. Birds like many other animals in my opinion really shouldn’t be caged, I think it makes some of them lose their minds. Ravens happen to be some of the smartest birds with their intelligence being comparable to a small child and have observed using the objects in their environment to make tools.
