Interesting. Have you seen any suggestion that these reactions to the color black are innate? Light and darkness as a metaphor for good and evil is a common enough trope that I could see culture alone generating some of these effects. Do you know if this effect remains in cultures where people have darker skin?
Though it's been changing due to western influence, white is the color of mourning in Chinese culture, and black is pretty much neutral, and even associated with Heaven (which of course is vastly different than the Christian concept).
