Dusky

Dusky generally refers to a dark or muted coloration, often describing skin tones, animal fur, or objects with a subdued, shadowy appearance. It can indicate a deep, smoky, or slightly brownish hue that is not bright or vibrant. In a broader context, "dusky" might also describe dim lighting or environments that are partially shadowed. While often used to describe physical attributes, the term evokes a sense of soft darkness without being harsh or intense, giving a subtle, understated impression of color or atmosphere.
