(noun) An untranslatable, German word also known as eigenlicht, describing the color the eye sees in the dark, in absence of light; loosely translated to intrinsic gray: dark light or brain gray. Eigengrau is perceived as lighter than a black object under normal lighting conditions because contrast visually surpasses brightness to the human eye.  For example, the night sky is darker than eigengrau because the stars intensify its blackness, thus providing a high level of contrast.
