August 2022/1 The most agreeable colour is black, and if not black, at least something fairly dark. I am talking of ordinary attire, for there is no doubt that light and grey colours are more suitable for wearing on top of armour, and it is also more fitting for holiday clothes to have trimmings, and to be ornate and gay. Baldassarre Castiglione, The Book of the Courtier, 1528
