Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and
mystery.
Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black
holes). It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor,
'black death'). Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered
to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black
Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.
Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background
diminishes readability. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner.
When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black
or gray background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts
well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange – other very
powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme.
