Noir in English means black.
"Noir" is a French word that has been adopted into the English language, particularly in contexts related to film and literature. While its usage might evoke specific stylistic connotations (e.g., film noir), its fundamental meaning remains simply the color black. The word can function as a noun (referring to the color itself) or as an adjective (describing something that is black).
For example:
- "The director used a lot of noir in the film's aesthetic." (Here, noir refers to the color black and other dark tones).
- "She wore a noir dress." (Here, noir is an adjective describing the dress's color).
