Alright, personally I don't have a favorite color, but I tend to pick black when wearing clothes. I don't know why; I just feel safe in it, and it gives me a sense of mystery, I guess. People also say that I look good in black, so that's why I keep coming back to this color. At this point, I would say that the majority of the clothes in my closet are black.
