Black should be regarded as a special colour, because it has different - even opposite - meanings in different cultures and ages. Either you love it or you hate it, perhaps because you mistakenly think it is too difficult to use plausibly in everyday places. If white brings light, black is identified as no light but, thanks to its use in fashion, it has become synonymous with elegance, an equation that is also true when we talk about the surfaces that cover the places we live, stay or work in. A floor in porcelain stoneware with black marble effect, for example, expresses sophistication, character, mystery, luxury.
When we talk about black stoneware it goes without saying that we mean a wide range of chromatic tones that are anything but compact (from slate to pure black, lead and anthracite), animated and varied by very different graphic textures (wood, stone, cement or metal effect); not to mention the veins which are naturally in sharp chromatic contrast, in the case of marbles such as Nero Marquina or Calacatta Black.
