-The ancient bronze characters look like a person with dots. In the seal form, the bottom was 炎 (yán), which is 火 (huǒ) ‘fire’ doubled.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 黑(􁯎𪐗) hēi ‘soot-black’ (color of the north) is said to combine 炎(􁯅) yán ‘flames leaping up’, and /𡆧(􁯵􁯴囪) cōng/chuāng ‘vent/chimney/window’ (灶突): fire burning in the stove/fireplace leaves black soot in the chimney/vent.
 	“炎 flames beating against the smoke-hole: soot” —Karlgren.
+	Note: In the modern form 黑, the form of the bottom component 炎 suggests 赤, but with 灬(火) for the bottom.
+	Older graphs associated with 黑 suggest a 大 ‘person’ with a 甶(􁣲) ‘demon face’ (as in 鬼 guǐ ‘ghost’) and dots/dirt on the face and body.
+	Compare: 青(􀷋𤯞) qīng ‘green’ (color of the east); 赤(􁯾𤆍) chì ‘red’ (color of the south); 白(􁔹) bái ‘white’ (color of the west); 黄(􂛮黃) huáng ‘yellow’ (color of the earth).
+	HDZ: 黑 : hēi : 五色之一; 光线昏暗; 夜晚; 黑与白对举, 表是非; 坏, 狠毒; 隐秘的, 非法的 (言行和财物等) (黑市, 黑枪); 黑色的黍米; 黑色的猪羊; (简称) 黑龙江省; (姓)
