HTML Hex for Black is #000000
Black is the color of coal, ebony, and of outer space. It is the darkest color,
the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light. It is the
opposite of white and often represents darkness in contrast with light.
Black was one of the first colors used by artists in neolithic cave paintings.
In the Roman Empire, it became the color of mourning, and over the centuries it
was frequently associated with death, evil, witches and magic. In the 14th
century, it began to be worn by royalty, the clergy, judges and government
officials in much of Europe. It became the color worn by English romantic
poets, businessmen and statesmen in the 19th century, and a high fashion color
in the 20th century.
In the Western World today, it is the color most commonly associated with
mourning, the end, secrets, magic, power, violence, evil, and elegance.
