Darkness is defined as a lack of illumination, an absence of visible light, or a surface that absorbs light, such as a black one. Human vision is unable to distinguish colors in conditions of very low luminance 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.
