Are You Afraid Of Wearing Color?

I often wonder why so many people are afraid to wear color. Walking around New York it's a challenge to find brightly hued clothing in the crowds of people wearing all black. Yes black is safe and elegant and all that, but putting on a bit of color in the morning definitely brightens up my day. I love how the woman above plays with proportion and texture to make a stunning and bold fashion statement. If you are going to wear all black, what not wear it with pizazz? Are any of you out there afraid of wearing color?
