Ah, symbolically! Black is a prime color for me. Admittedly, I only own about three pairs of jeans, two are blue and one is khaki. But black features prominently in its own right in other ways. Trousers, coats, jackets, hats, sweaters, shoes.
Pink... well pink is a bit effeminate, a notion I'm not really happy to accept myself as being. My soft side is carefully tucked away until I need it.
When I was real young converse was my go to footwear. Middle school demanded it, lots of folks wore converse. I had plenty of them, always getting scuffed up so I avoided the white ones so the marks didn't show.
