When an angel has black wings, it means that they are a "fallen angel".

A fallen angel is an angel who has been exiled or banished from their realm.

This makes them the "anti-angel".

An angel with white wings is the opposite - they are the "good" and pure angels.

:D

Edit- many images of "fallen angels" portray them with leathery bat-like wings as opposed to feathered bird-like ones. Frequently you will find that black feathered wings denote an Archangel of death (Azrael or Michael for example), not fallen in the mythology at all- in fact they were created first, and are given the job requiring the greatest trust. The equation of white with purity and goodness is maybe a little flawed- it was after all used as an excuse for the maintenance of slavery ;)

The color of an angel's wings is often depicted based on cultural and artistic symbolism rather than a standardized belief. White wings usually symbolize purity, innocence, and goodness, while black wings may represent mystery, solemnity, or judgment. Ultimately, the color of an angel's wings can vary depending on the artist's interpretation or the context of the depiction.

Oh, dude, it's like a fashion statement up there in angel land. Some angels just prefer the classic white wing look, you know, like a little black dress but for wings. And then you've got the rebels rocking the black wings, probably listening to heavy metal and causing a ruckus. It's all about personal preference, man.

How many wings does Saint Michael the Archangel have?

There are 9 types of angels and have a hierarchy of power separated into 3 "spheres". The Seraphim angels are the highest and have six wings, and the archangels are actually the second from the bottom regardless of their power and responsibility. Also, as of what I've researched into, the archangels are suppose to have 2 wings, but some of them like Michael or the a few others that are higher than the rest are actually seen as higher than the Seraphims and i have seen a few drawings of him that depict him with 6 wings so to answer your question, I'm pretty sure he has 6.
