A color can be no more evil than an element. Black is technically a perfect color (I call it the BEFORE). If you take away all light, you have an absence of color and light (black). The most important card in the Tarot deck is ZERO, the FOOL, who contains within him ALL the other cards -- and is associated with both black and green (black for pre-creation (BEFORE) and green for impending creation (AFTER)).
Fire, Earth, Air, Water -- none are evil. How can black be evil or associated with anything evil? It's as pure and perfect as you get.
WHITE on the other hand is a quite negative color in some ways (it's not really a color either) -- in Daoism, they where WHITE to FUNERALS (but that's not evil in itself, it's just change). So, really, no color is evil, but black is perhaps the most perfect of all colors -- it contains within it ALL the other colors-- AND NO COLORS (absence) making it truly perfect-- represents the Ain Soph, pre-creation, YIN (FEMALE energy) where white is YANG (male creative energy). All in balance is good. Black especially.
Also black as a sacred color FAR PREDATES any Satanic associations. Black predates Christ, Buddha, Satan, all the gods... it is the BEFORE.
