Black color has a lot of visual weight, so whenever you are working with a monochromatic color scheme, it is important to make sure that the ratio of white surfaces is always larger than the ratio of black surfaces. So essentially, the black color is only used to highlight the darker undertones as opposed to the feature surfaces.
5. Or a texture
