Some things are ill to hear when the world's in shadow.
TOM BOMBADIL
The emphasis on light and darkness in Middle Earth is more than symbolism; to the characters, the physical world reflects a reality deeper than mere colour:
The Dark Lord, the Black Land, the Black Riders, the Mountains of Shadow.
The White Council, the White Rider, the White Tree, the White Lady.
The Star-Glass, the Evenstar, Gilgalad ('Starlight'), Elanor (the 'Sun-Star').
