I KNOW MAGIC DOES NOT HAVE A COLOR

but we use the "white, black, gray ect..." because it is easier for us to ascosiate the contents of an unknown topic to something that brings us memories so please
WE KNOW MAGIC HAS NO COLOR IT IS SIMPLY A PSYCHOLOGICAL WAY FOR US TO UNDERSTANT WHAT EACH SECTION OF MAGIC IS USED FOR

White refers to healing and things similar, abiding by the threefold law, "A'in it harm none, do what thou wilt"

Black refers to those spells that are do not abide by that law.

Grey is inbetween the two.

Green refers to nature.

That is what I was told and gather from it. Magic has no color, but the colors are just categories for spells. Like to harm would be black, and to heal would be white, to summon an elemental may be green or white/ gray.

People only clarify so as to not confuse those reading the conversation. I do not know about you, but form what i see many use these associations: White is good, black is bad.
One aspect of magic cannot be black or white because everyone has a different idea of what good and bad is.

its just the way we r taught black represent evil white is good
i dont believe black is all evil nor is white all good but i still use these categories because they make it easier to understand the objective

(in my opinion) Black is good for healing and protection. White won't make its mind up. =3

Naturally, categorising things helps newbies to understand them. That is why we use colours they associate with evil, nature, good, etc.

Black = ''Bad'' magick. Anything that manipulates free will.

White = Magick spells for the helping of yourself or others, ''good'' spells.

Grey = A mixture of the two above.

Green = Nature magick. Using a lot of the earth elements, and earth/weather/etc spells.

Of course, there are many other types listed by colours too; but it would take forever to mention them all! Nevertheless, as I said earlier, categorizing makes thinga easier for people to understand. This is why we give each type of magick a label, although they dont have a colour.

In my understanding, grey is not 'the middle road'. It actually refers to death magick and could be viewed as more dangerous than 'black' magick. It really depends on your path. :)
