=== Non-Evil Black ===

One frequent argument is whether Black is "Evil" by definition; usually, the answer is taken to be "No, but only barely". For example, according to Mark Rosewater, Black is explicitly the color of the Constitution of the United States, creating an unusual situation where America is ''Black'' (Individual) Red (Freedom) and Blue (pursuit of perfection through knowledge).

The way this circle is usually squared is to note that Black is also a color of Realism and Pragmatism, of Trades, and of Individualism. It is the color of the rational check on White's more [[Lawful Evil]] tendencies and Green’s stagnation
