The darkest part of a shadow is called the "umbra"
The lighter part of a shadow is called the "penumbra"
An "antumbra" is the area of light which surrounds the object creating a shadow, as in a "ring of fire" eclipse (like the recent one in May, 2012). It can best be seen when the viewer is beyond the focal point of the umbra, but in line with it.
Umbral shadow refers to the darkest part of a shadow, where no direct light can reach. It is the region that is fully obscured from light sources, resulting in complete darkness.
I think you are asking what is the lighter part of the Earth's shadow on the Moon that surrounds the darkest part. The penumbra is this lighter part of the shadow. The darkest part is the umbra.

A complete area of shadow is called an umbra. It is the darkest part of a shadow where no light reaches.
A shadow of complete darkness is often called an "umbra." This occurs when an object completely blocks light from reaching a surface, creating a region of total darkness.

There are two parts of a shadow: the UMBRA and the PENUMBRA. UMBRA is the inner darker part of a shadow. PENUBMRA is the outher lighter layer of a shadow. During a solar eclipse, the area on the planet that witnesses a complete total solar eclipse would be under the moon's shadow's UMBRA. The area that views a partial solar eclipse would be under the PENUMBRAL shadow.
The darker complete shadow is the "umbra". The lighter partial shadow is the penumbra.
The darker total shadow is called the "umbra"; the lighter, partial shadow is called the "penumbra".
