What is the black box? What is it used for? What is the context in which
it will be used?
White is regarded as the traditional color of mourning in Asia, but I
remember always seeing people wearing black to funerals. Men wear black
suits and ties, women black kimono with elaborate designs. I think you
need to specify the context and identity of the "black box." As a
cultural anthropologist, I can say for sure that cultural symbolism is
rarely generic.
