    From what I heard about on offhand comment white is used for more sleek-ish shapes and make things seem while black can make things look more intimidating and smaller. I’m pretty sure the size thing is used mostly in interior design

    Don’t trust me on this citation needed for this whole comment

      This is a common design principle. White seems bigger and inviting, black seems smaller and not as inviting. It’s just how light works, it’s not about skin.

        Yeah I wasn’t talking about white and black in terms of paint, not the skin color white and black

        But thanks for confirming my info that I had no idea if it was true
