Used alone, black points to our shadow side: sadness, death, fear, anguish and emptiness. It absorbs light and every reflection, and carries many dark connotations.
But it is also the symbol of elegance and luxury: sophisticated and timeless, it reigns in fashion, cinema and design. The contrast color par excellence, it goes with almost every other. Alone and overused, however, it quickly evokes nothingness.
👉 The ancient Egyptians called their country Kemet, “the black land”: the black silt left by the Nile flood was for them the color of fertility and renewed life.
✦ ✦
If you love black, you are an ambitious person who likes to present yourself with class and simplicity. Tenacious and precise, you cannot stand mistakes and know how to solve the most complex problems. By wearing black, you keep your emotions to yourself and add a touch of mystery.
The color of pirates, rockers and witches, black also speaks of a taste for freedom and rebellion. A marker of power and prestige, it is the color of Capricorn, whose seriousness and rigor it reflects.
A taste for detail and precision.
A refinement that never needs to overdo it.
A will that knows where it is going.
Austerity, withdrawal, dark moods.

The color of emptiness, black is paradoxically the color of fertility: it stands for the womb of the earth, the promise of renewed life. It is the color of fertility goddesses and of the Black Madonnas. In China, it is yin: the unknown, the darkness before the light, both the beginning and the end.
It is credited with a power of protection and recentering: it shields, keeps energy from scattering and gives self-assurance, for example when speaking in public. In many initiation rites, passing through darkness means facing your fears in order to be reborn.
