I'm fine with everyday black items, but I honestly break down when it's so black it doesn't reflect light. It makes me feel like it's not real and I dissociate hardcore. It's the same feeling as when I break down in VR. I've been known to shine my flashlight on things in stores. If it's really bad and I can't get close to the object, I'll have someone shine it close so the light actually shows up on very dark things. This may be related to my odd depth perception issues, as light is a main way I tell distance, and when there's no light, things feel as if they could be right next to my eye or very far away.
