Black is not a color, strictly speaking. It is the 

absence of all color. When people speak of opposites,

 it is usually in terms of black and white. Black, and its 

opposite white, represent polarities. Black absorbs 

all aspects of light. While white reveals,

 black conceals. It has come to mean hidden,

 fearful or bad experience. It is linked to 

the unknown or the unseen.

In times of fear and uncertainty black contains

 the energy of the threatening unknown. In a

 positive state, black is seen as a restful emptiness

 into which anything may emerge and disappear

 once again. It is also mysterious, providing a

 sense of potential and possibility.

Put some black in your life when you want:

• to become inconspicuous
• to open the door to mystery
• to prepare for the unknown
• a restful emptiness
