Gram-positive does not refer to a positive charge, but to the purple color of the stain. Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the purple dye and are instead red in color.

Explain why crystal violet would not be useful in the negative stain technique?

Negative staining techniques are designed to stain everything BUT the bacterial cells. This allows us to see the cells unstained and helps us observe their morphology (how the cells are shaped and how they group together). The cells have an overall negative charge on their surface, so they naturally attract positive charges. Crystal Violet carries a positive charge, so it would adhere to the surfaces of the cells thus staining the cells (which is not what you want in a negative stain!)
