Was wondering because black and darkness is different from each other as darkness is gone when light is present but black remains.

It’s not in the spectrum. OR: It’s on a different axis. As you go through the spectrum, you change frequency. But 90 degrees to that and entirely unrelated, is **intensity**. Any color with a lot of intensity is bright. Any color without intensity fades to black.

Wut? When you shine light on a black surface, it aborbs all that light and reflect none back. If it’s not a perfect black, it’ll reflect some back and you see various shades of grey.
