what does the colour black represent?
Yes, black can be considered a colour! Like white and grey, it is an achromatic colour (without hue). Black has come to represent and symbolise many emotions over the years; perhaps the most well known is mourning and darkness, but since the Middle Ages it has also represented authority and dignity.
Black has been associated with death, magic, and evil, secrets, and fear, but also elegance, fertility in Ancient Egypt, power in the medieval world, and high-fashion. Truly a versatile colour!

what does the colour white represent?
Another achromatic colour, and the opposite of black, white is the colour most often associated with cleanliness, perfection, and the good! An important colour in most world religions, it symbolises purity and virginity, but also mourning in some Asian cultures.
On the flip side, perhaps due to the association with snow and ice, white can also be seen as quite cold, or symbolising emptiness, blankness, or sterility.
