There's no such thing as black.

Or at least there hasn't been until recently.

I was watching a dance show at my friends CC, and after the first piece, the lights went to a blue out for a scenic transition and the crew came out. But in the blue out it looked like everyone was wearing shades of brown.

I remember reading somewhere awhile ago that true black doesn't exist in fabric. That might have been wrong. I feel like there is fabric that can stay black, but some clothing companies would rather try to dye it to save on cost. Maybe it was true black fabric dye that doesn't exist. I think it's really funny how light works on fabric (well, pretty much anything with color) especially under colored light. Light bounces off the "color" of the object, but in situations where the light provided doesn't have those colors to bounce off, it reflects what it can.

And that sort of made me think if it's really the leftover color waves in the light that we see, or if it's the eye compensating for the lack of that color. hmm...
