It depends on what you're using it for/what colours you're using it with, of course, and the shade makes a huge difference, but for me, blue is almost always a win. That discussion enough for you, Paul?

"White and black are the highest and lowest light values respectively. White has the highest degree of light reflectancy. Black, on the other hand, has the lowest degree of light reflectancy. In the color spectrum all of the lighter colors have a higher degree of light reflectancy than the darker colors. White is a tint and black is a shade. The color's value is its position in reference to a white-to-black ladder. When a color is lightened by being extended toward white, the new color is called a tint. When a color is darkened by being extended toward black, it becomes a shade. When it is extended toward gray (an equal amount of white and black), the color becomes a tone. Value is the second dimension of color. Value distinguishes a light color from a dark one. By adding white to any color or mixing a primary of lighter color with it we create a color of higher value. Orange is actually a value of red because of the addition of yellow, a lighter color. Various tints of pink are values of red." just read this on the net: www.woodfinishsupply.com/ColorTheory.htmli though the paragraph thing i just posted was really interesting. lol

yea, black isn't actually a colour. More like a complete lack thereof
