Color belief can also be relative. While black on one occasion can symbolize mourning and death, it can also symbolize renewal through destruction. Black can also stand for what is hidden, secret, or out of sight.
We attach alot of color symbology in modern culture. One could see an underlining symbology in Defining skin colors as black and white, and then look in the dictonary for the definitions, there are all sorts of implications and double meanings. The colors of a nations flag can bring a patriotic or rebellious feeling. Hospitals, prisons, and mental health institutions paint walls green to have a calming effect. We have gender roles assigned to color. Pink for girls, blue for boys, ect.
