Edgar Allan Poe used the color black to symbolize death. He used this in "The Masque of the Red Death".
the number seven could be considered unlucky. and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west so the 1st chamber, the blue one, could be thought of as the sun rising and the 7th chamber, the black one, could be the sun setting which could symbolize death, night, darkness, depression etc.
The climax occurs when the Red Death moves from the blue room to the final black room and Prospero follows him in.
Prince Prospero dies in the seventh and final room of his abbey during the masquerade ball. This room is decorated in black and red, symbolizing death and blood, and is where the clock that ultimately stops his revelry is located.
