why is black always depicted as the colour of evil?

Answer 1

It relates to night! In a lot of cultures, night (especially midnight) is the time when evil is powerful.

Not always true though since in Hinduism, Lord Krishna was born at midnight.

Answer 2

Black is synonymous with darkness. Darkness is viewed as evil. But there is no scientific background to depict black as evil. When your hair, your eyebrows, your dress can enhance the beauty of your personality, there is no meaning in considering black as evil. White and black are the two sides of a coin. They are inseparable. In the absence of the black, white has no existence. Both are the original colors. Black is as important as white.

Answer 3

Dear zany,
Evil signifies DARKNESS and IGNORANCE.Since Black is the darkest colour as no other colour is darker than Black,hence it is,in most cases,depicted as the colour of evil.

Answer 4

Dear Zany,
It is because of various social taboos as well as human behaviour. The most prominent is the fear of Darkness. As the darkness and the evil both cause fear in the mind of a common man/woman, both became synonymous with the passage of time. As black is the colour of dark, it was also associated with the evil. We can not rule out the racial bias in it also , but the fact remains that black cat, black crow etc ( and not the black men ) were always associated with the evil even in the societies where
there is no racial divide.---PC Sharma.

Answer 5

Because When Man began to learn social living, He experienced happiness in day light and fear ar dark nights.
Day gives 5 sensory experience to his knowledge, which later days called Science.
Night gives time to use mental power to understand Nature and true values of knowledge acquired by 5 seances.
This is call Philosophy.
Those who could not think above 5 seances will fear for darkness (black) and link it with evil.
Close your eyes it is black. It is not evil.
Open your eyes even black colour emits some rays.
Closing your eyes to good things is evil.
Be always open minded you will be always happy.

Answer 6
