Its usage in Grand Qur'ān is not restricted to gustatory modality but to all sensory feelings, like pain by corporal infliction and of pleasure and comfort. Skin is mentioned as the receptor, taster of Pain, corporeal infliction. It is also used as "The Taste of death".

Root: س و د

Words from this Root in the Grand Qur'ān:

a) Total occurrences: 10

b) No of constructions: 9

Noun: 7; Recurrence: 8; Verb: 2 [Form-IX]

Ibn Faris [died 1005] stated:

(مقاييس اللغة)

السين والواو والدال أصلٌ واحد، وهو خلاف البياضِ في اللّونِ، ثم يحمل عليه ويشتقّ منه. فالسَّواد في اللّون معروف.

That it is opposite of white, whiteness, oviparous in colour; and then other meanings are derived from it; black, blackness in colour is well known.

Lane Lexicon: He was, or became, [a سَيِّد, i. e. chief, lord, master, &c.; or] possessed of glory, honour, dignity, eminence, exalted or elevated state, or nobility.  It, and he, became أَسْوَد [i. e. black]: (S, M, Msb, K:) and ↓ اسوادّ it, or he, became intensely so.

Classical Lexicons

Apparently the words stemming from this Root have widely divergent meanings of black colour and for referring a person for honour, dignity, eminence but later meanings do relate to the psyche of black colour. In color psychology, black's color meaning is symbolic of mystery, power, elegance, and sophistication. In contrast, the color meaning can also evoke emotions such as sadness and anger reflected by facial expression.
