Darkness have plenty of bad associations: bad things, obscurity, ... Blackness goes even further, because black is the darkest color.
Yet we like plenty of dark-colored objects without considering their darkness anything bad. For instance, I like dark theming, because I like light-colored text on a black background -- the background makes the text stand out easier for me.
What makes a difference?
I think that we must distinguish between dark objects and dark environments. Dark objects are not any problem, but dark environments are, because one cannot see very much in a dark environment.
