Did you know?

If you open your eyes in a pitch-black room, the colour you'll see is called 'eigengrau'.

Go into the darkest room that you can find, one where there's no light at all, and spend a few minutes with your eyes closed. Then, open them up and look around. While you'd expect to be staring into pitch-blackness, you will notice that you're seeing a sort of dark grey shade. And that colour has a name: It's called 'eigengrau'.
