Black candles can signify many different things. They are mostly associated with rites and spells regarding the death of an individual (not necessarily something negative) They are associated with the sabbat Samhain. They are also at times used for magickal workings of a negative nature. All colors and shades have a believed vibration that makes them unique to use in certain circumstances, however, should you feel that black represents love to you as opposed to using pink or red (which are commonly used "love" colors) than by using the commonly accepted color in lieu of the color you feel is most appropriate you are hindering your working. To sum it up, it is all about your personal interpretation and not really what the masses believe about something.
Black candles are typically made from paraffin wax or beeswax, just like candles of other colors. The black pigment is added to the wax during the manufacturing process to give the candles their dark color. Some black candles are also infused with essential oils or other scents for fragrance.

There are also special candles, such as Advent candles, that have specific meaning Advent candles are lit for 4 week prior to Christmas. One new candle is lit every week.
