Does dark always mean dull or vice versa? — This unsigned comment was added by 87.194.35.230 (talk) at 15:22, 8 October 2006.
- No. Black is always dark, but could be, for example, shiny. White is not dark; but it could be dull, flat. DCDuring TALK 20:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

- One YouTube video isn't much. Your vague suggestion needs some great print citations, please. (Remember that "dark" and "black" have had sinister connotations forever, because humans are afraid of the dark. Not racism!) Equinox ◑ 01:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
