Black
Black is a very common color and is the key color. It is a shade. In painting, however, black pigment is the combination of all colors. It is the opposite of white in both additive and subtractive color systems. No color can have the same level of dark pigmentation without turning itself into black. As the visual perception of an object's color is determined by the wavelengths of light reflected by the object, objects that absorb all visual wavelengths of light appear to be black. Similarly, objects may appear "black" if they cannot reflect any available wavelengths provided by a particular light source. Black, therefore absorbs light.
Color theory
In the subtractive color system, a way to create black is to mix pigments. A pigment works by reflecting only the color of other colored objects because they absorb more light.
In the additive color system, it is the absence of light.
Black is a neutral color. It is not a cool color, nor a warm color.
Symbolism
Black is seen as a scary color or dark color. Black can also be seen as strength and courage and sometimes fear.[source?]
Black is a color seen with fear and the unknown. It can have a bad meaning (blackbird, black bunny) or a good meaning ('in the black'). Black can stand for strength and boldness. It can be a formal, elegant and high-class color (black tie, black Mercedes)[source?]. In life black is seen as a very common color. In education, academics black is seen[by whom?] as a common color in the world of stationery xerox and printing. In heraldry, black is called "sable".
