Umbrellas are often black because black fabric helps them dry faster.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Original Purpose: Umbrellas were primarily designed for use during rainy seasons.
-
Drying Time: It was observed that umbrellas made from black cloth dried much faster than those made from other colors. This is because black can absorb heat.
-
Standard Practice: As a result, using black cloth in umbrella manufacturing became a standard practice.
