Carbon is black in appearance. I have this theory that color of a substance is the glow of darkness from the nucleus through the electron. If carbon has weak energy in its electron shell perhaps it is resistant for some reason to obtaining the temperatures needed in its shell for repulsion and is the same reason its black in color.Without looking, I'd say it means elemental carbon likes remaining solid or crystalline. Whereas gases like O2 and CO2 prefer flapping their wings. Carbon rarely reaches 3000 degrees on Earth's surface because it reacts spontaneously (combusts) with any available O2 long before the temperature can get that high.
