Black is not a color some people say.
Looking for the color codifications I find that black is 0:
HTML-colors = #000000
RGBB = (r, g, b)(0, 0, 0)
CMYKH = (c, m, y, k) 0, 0, 0, 100 †)
Personally I love black. Actually the dominant color in my wardrobe is black.
I find black goes with everything cloth wise. You can match it with any other color and it is just never wrong.
Sometimes I have found friends refusing to wear black as it is such a “depressing color”. I just don’t share that point of view. Any other color can be just as depressing as I think it mostly depend on the mood you are in that day.
I don’t say that colors don’t affect our moods – it is clear they have an impact on us – but some people seem to have the idea that if you wear black you are sad and that at a funeral you can ONLY wear black. It is true that most people dresses in black at a funeral, I normally do that as well, but a friend of mine wore a red top at our dear friends memorial service and I tought it was so nice with some happy color, and very brave to dress against the dress code.
There was this article in a magazine about funerals that explained that in Bali people dresses in colorful clothes, smile and laughs at funerals. They explained that their tradition is to try being happy and positive so that the grief of loosing a family member or a friend does not take over hand. From their point of view the grief and sadness affects the soul and body and brings depressions and physical illness.

Not sure I would be able to laugh at a funeral but I will definitely consider wearing something more colorful than black - even if it is one of my favorite colors...
