Bluing/ blackening is an effective way of creating a protective layer that helps prevent rust, while also being aesthetically pleasing.

Are you just too retarded to use Google?

This, but also black was considered an expensive colour (because the only way to make black paint/dye at that point was to mix a bunch of different colours, which made black paint cost multiple times more than any other colour). For most of history black clothing/decoration was just a way to announce that you were a fashion victim with more money than sense.

If you paint metal it doesnt rust.
