Did you know that in the early #MiddleAges, the opposite of white wasn't black?
Our #colour perception & association aren't universal, culturally or by time.
An interesting example of this is #chess.
When the game came to #Europe, the sides were red and white: white is wisdom & innocence, red is war & intrigue.
#Medieval #knights in literature were also colour-coded.
White was the wise, older one, red the evil, otherwordly foe.
A black knight wanted to hide who they were.
