lunalab:

the politics of light and dark are everywhere in our vocabulary…psa to writers: subvert this, reveal whiteness and lightness as sometimes artificial and violent, and darkness as healing, the unknown as natural

Some ideas for bad things that are white/light:

• lightning, very hot fire
• snow storms, ice, frost on crops
• some types of fungus/mold
• corpses, ghosts, bones, a diseased person
  
• clothing, skin tone, hair, etc. of a bad person
• fur, teeth, eyes of an attacking animal/monster
• bleached out deserts, dead trees, lifeless places
• poison
  

Some ideas for good things that are black/dark:

• rich earth/soil
  
• chocolate, truffles, wine, cooked meat
  
• friendly animals/pets/creatures
• a character’s favorite vehicle, technology, coat, etc.
• a pleasant night
• hair, skin tone, clothing, etc. of a good person
• undisturbed water of a lake
• the case/container of something important
• valued wood, furniture, art
• velvet
  

Think to burn, to infect, to bleach vs. to enrich, to protect, to be of substance.
