Colors with low light intensity are dark colors. The problem may occur when the light is low or when a material absorbs most of the light, altering the darkness of a color. The sum of a color's red, green, and blue values can approximate the darkness of the color. The range of hues that make up dark colors is wide. While pink, yellow and white, on the other hand, are naturally light colors.
Dark pinks are typically brighter than dark reds, and dark yellows are brighter than dark oranges. Grey and brown are many dark colors as hues fade at low light levels. The black color of #000000 at the far end of the spectrum emits absolutely no light. Below are some examples of dark colors that are essential elements of web design you should be aware of.
