Read a book once where this "color" was called "fuligin" and was used as a clothing fabric worn by executioners.

I have a shirt from a band called Katatonia. Written in black, on a black shirt it says "I'll wear black until there's something darker"

It’s taboo to wear white after Labor Day. When does it become taboo to wear black?
