The Psychology of Color:

BLACK

Jim BeamBlack is a misunderstood color.  

In most Western countries black is the color of mourning. A black tie dinner is very formal and elegant. Women might wear that "little black dress" to the black tie dinner. Among young people, black is often seen as a color of rebellion.  It is the color for little boys in China. Black, especially combined with orange is the color of Halloween. In early Westerns the good guy wore white while the bad guy wore black. Native Americans thought black was good because it was the color of soil, which gives life. Studies show that in design, black and yellow create the highest contrast. 

 

In Design, Black is both positive and negative:Movado

Harley Davidson, Jack Daniels, Movado watches, Chanel No. 5. 

 

POSITIVE: powerful, empowering, elegant, sophisticated, mysterious, heavy, bold, basic, classic, strong, expensive, invulnerable, magical, night, sober, prestigious, stylish, modern

 

NEGATIVE: depression, death, mourning, underworld, evil, oppression, suppression, manacing
