In the black...

While the autumn season means tree leaves changing from green to shades of yellow, orange, red, brown and purple, it also means a little less light each day. This time between the fall equinox and winter solstice is one of increasing darkness. This creates a moody backdrop late in the afternoon and early in the evening for upcoming Halloween. It's fitting that one of the key colours associated with this holiday is black.

In the stationery world, as in fashion, black is a classic that is often synonymous with sophistication. You may have noticed in several of our Tuesday's Tonic interviews that black is a popular response when we ask people for their favourite ink colour.
