black-and-whiteBlack for the bathroom? It might be impressing dark atmosphere. But if combined with white color, the result will be more artistic.

In the theory of color, black and white are often branded as not including the family colors. Black is considered as absence of color while white is considered a combination of all colors available. Therefore, black and white was never included in the color circle (color ring).

Color or not, in terms of the psychology of black and white it has the effect of a very contradictory. Black is seen can bring discomfort, stress, and grief. However, black can give the impression of elegance and masculine. While white, believed to facilitate reflection and bring a sense of comfort. But if used excessively, the white will give the impression of cold, lonely, and stiff.

Two things are contradictory, if combined could sometimes be a suitable match and complement each other. So did the black and white. Discomfort and distress caused by the black and white can be neutralized by. And vice versa, which seemed cool white warmer since the end of the black presence.
