My daily attire is a bright red coat, a green tee shirt and yellow trousers. They just show up black in photos.

Ha! I joke with you amusingly.

It is indeed my daily attire. It keeps the elements at bay and gives me a place to put my keys, stops me being arrested on charges of public nudity and so much more.

Sometime in the late 90s, possibly at a book signing or a Comic Book Legal Defence Fund reading, I heard you say

“I love black. Black goes with everything. Well, goes with everything black anyway.”

… and I quote it frequently.
