dark
Darkness, the direct opposite of lightness, is defined as a lack of illumination, an absence of visible light, or a surface that absorbs light, such as black or brown.
Human vision is unable to distinguish colors in conditions of very low luminance. This is because the hue sensitive photoreceptor cells on the retina are inactive when light levels are insufficient, in the range of visual perception referred to as scotopic vision.
The emotional response to darkness has generated metaphorical usages of the term in many cultures, often used to describe an unhappy or foreboding feeling.
Referring to a time of day, complete darkness occurs when the Sun is more than 18° below the horizon, without the effects of twilight on the night sky.
I have dark brown tiles and brown grout in a shower (never again) that never looks clean. there is always a white haze over the tiles, which actually improves when wet. I'm not sure if this is efflorescence or hard water stains/calcium deposits. I do have well water but don't consider it "hard...

Hi, just had a tiler put some white metro tiles with grey grout in our first house. We are a disappointed with the white sealant - see photos. We appreciate that it may be tricky to do dark grout and white sealant. Is this the best we can hope for? Should we not have picked grey grout?

Hi,
