Why are the colours black and purple associated with the gothic genre?

Answers (1)

the color black has alot of different meanings. In western culture black is used at funerals when we mourn a loved ones death. It is also used to represent evil. But black is also used as a symbol of hope, secrecy and mysterious things like the unknown. I wear black because it is the only color that makes me feel safe like a security blanket. Anything brighter than gray or dark camouflage makes me feel out of place. others wear black simply because they like it.

I don't know much about purple. But i will look into it.
