Such qualities as vocabulary source, thinking patterns with rich content, masculinity-femininity phenomenon, providing opportunities for expressing large narrations with few words, the potential of containing the secondary and side meaning, the ability for literary arts, the breadth of the derivation capacity and subtle distinctions of meaning are the qualities which stand out the properties determining the richness of Arabic Language. The existence of words formed around the concept and meaning dimension of the colour black is solely one of the specific examples reflecting these properties in Arabic language. Within this context, in this article, the black colour was studied in detail by referencing reliable dictionaries and classical Arab poetry in terms of making it a tool for both naming and determining and also transferring senses and thought. The issues such as the colour black tried to be explained excluding concepts meeting its lexicon meaning, and defined in different perspectives, and its combination with white colour, and metaphorically both negative connotations and individual desire and longings made specifically, make the main theme of the article by taking the being in question. The connection between some different naming and expression styles and Arabic culture made with black colour in this article were also called attention to.
