Black

kuro, kuro-i, koku

The color black is kuro, kuroiro, or kuro-i.

It is considered black food is healthy. Kurogoma (black sesame), kurozatō or kokutō (dark brown sugar), kurozu (black vinegar), kuromame (black soybeans), and kuromai (black rice). I would like to believe that kurobīru (black beer or dark beer) and kuromitsu (black molasses) are also good for health.

Monochrome or black-and-white is shirokuro.

A loss in a sumo match is kuroboshi while a victory mark is shiroboshi.
