I heard a comment about the color black in clothing: " People wear
black because it reflects the mood of the times."
Is that why we can free ourselves to wear color when we step into our
chosen time period? We enjoy the Period and "forget" that all time
periods had their problems?

I *swear* that my husband owns every single black t-shirt in Brisbane.
When his Lordship and I first started going out, I'd see something
nice - a piece of furniture or home decor stuff - and his Lordship
would say, 'Yes, if it was black.' !!!!!
One day, I am going to get him the ( black, of course! ) t-shirt that
has 'I'm only wearing black until they invent a darker colour'.
Of course, his re-enactment gear is an entirely different matter - his
first 17thC outfit had a burgundy/purple doublet, with gold satin
breeches. :-) He keeps changing his mind about what colour he wants
for his new outfit, first it was going to be crimson, then blue,
then.....
