How Color Works in Your Life
We associate white with purity, goodness and
rightness. White is the
symbol of positive and protective energy. We
dress heroes and heroines
in white. White represents wholeness of spirit.
We associate God, God's
messengers and Heaven with white. We picture
Angels in robes of white.
We associate black with evil. We dress villains
in black. Black is the
symbol of destruction. When catastrophe strikes,
we call it a black day.
Black represents despair, anger and rage, which
are absences of love,
compassion and forgiveness. We say that a person
who feels these things
is in a black mood.
We say the "Dark Ages" were a time when the
"light of reason" was
absent. We call the suffering of a splintered
psyche, a psyche without
radiance, the "dark night of the soul." We call
the Devil, the Prince of
Darkness, and we think of Hell as a place where
the Light of God does
not reach.
Is the perception of white as an integration, or
a completion, and black
as an absence, therefore, limited in accuracy or
applicability to the
physical phenomena of white light and blackness?
No, language,
mythology, religious and science each recognize
white, a reflection of
integration, or wholeness, or completion, and
black, a reflection of the
absence of this.
