Black is no longer somber or serious. It's more avant guard and nonconformist. It looks intelligent. We mix our own perfect custom-black called Ominous. It's a black-black and engulfing, beautiful deep black. It's devious. If you want to cut the impact, start with one wall for a sleek focal point. Or go with a black that has blue or green undertones. They look black at night but give off a hue during the day. They're really sexy.
