French word for 'black (4)

I believe the answer is:

noir

(Other definitions for noir that I've seen before include "Film featuring bleak settings and cynical characters" , "(Of film or fiction) with bleak settings and cynical characters" , "Dark in France, like brooding films of 40s and 50s" , "film genre" , "Kind of dark film" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
