He had always favored dark colors. As a child, he'd had little choice in the matter, he had to wear what he was given, and more to the point, on a planet such as Tatooine, light colors were best anyway. Anything other than that would only hold in the heat.

Once he came to Coruscant, though, and began his training as a Jedi, things changed. Not right at first, but slowly enough. Being that he was, supposedly, no longer a slave and there was a rather limited palette of colors to choose from for Jedi-style garb as it was, he was given a fairly free rein in choosing what colors he wore. And so it came to pass, over the years, that his robes grew darker. By the time he was twenty-three, he was wearing browns so dark they may as well have been black.

And now....

Oh, now he was wearing black. Black all over. Armor and gauntlets and cape and boots. He had been told it was black, anyway, for all he could see with his machine-assisted vision was shades of red. But black....black was fitting. The color of space, of night. The color of the Dark Side...

The color of the void, of what he had become.
