Holy crap. I may have to buy this book (How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer) just to read this interview. (thanks to the ever-fantastic Grant McCracken for pointing this out)

It's the best color.  This is no other color that is better than black.  There are many other colors that are appropriate and happy but those colors belong on flowers.  Black is a color that is man-made.  It is really a projection of the brain.  It is a mind color.  It is intangible.  It is practical.  It works 24 hours a day.  In the morning or the afternoon, you can dress in tweed, but in the evening, you look like a professor who has escaped from a college. Everything else has connotations that are different, but black is good for everything.  My house is covered in black.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C61875A3-4E99-48DF-89AF-98BC3ADD9F7A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
