Any Chinese speakers who can confirm translation.

黑色的.com (black)

Thanks.

Well... yes and no.

This is an adjective form that appears very awkward when standing alone and not coupled with a noun. Normally you would see this like: 黑色的+[noun], meaning black+[noun].

It's the 的 particle at the end that makes this a bad form when standing alone as a domain. 的 has no direct translation in English.

Better translations for "black.com" would be 黑色.com or 黑.com
