Colour is the human perception of certain frequencies of light. Without light, there is no colour to be perceived. A dark room may still have light in it (and in fact it does in the form of infrared light), but the intensity of that light is small, and the human eye may not be able to see it.

In short, no light = no colour.

A dark curtain can help keep a room cooler by blocking out sunlight, which reduces the amount of heat that enters through the windows.

Use Carpet Colors to Modify the Size of Your Rooms?

Carpet colors play a significant role in room design. Not only do they complete a color palette, but they can actually change the size of a room. If you have a large room, you can bring the walls in by using a dark shade carpet. In contrast, if you have a small room, you can push the walls out with a lighter hue in your palette. When picking the dark and light colors, try not to select one of the prominent colors in your palette. If you select a shade that is used minimally, your carpet will have more of an influence in your room.
