Added context to the examples


'''[[color:black:Black]]''' is the darkest color we can see -- it is the absence of light, and thus the absence of light reflection. Its symbolism can be culturally complex -- depending on culture, it can symbolize death, or it can symbolize evil. In a more neutral sense, it can symbolize darkness and the night. In other senses, it can symbolize refined formality or financial security. And because human beings also come in this color, it can also be a powerful (and sensitive) symbol of [[RaceTropes superficial differences]] in human complexion.
