Its not always dark in Alaska. Below I have attached the month and how many hours of light we get during that month. What affects this though, is Alaska's location on the globe. It is tilted tword the sun part of the year and away from the sun the other part.
Jan - 7.0 hours
Feb - 9.1 hours
Mar - 11.8 hours
Apr - 14.7 hours
May - 17.5 hours
June - 19.5 hours
July - 18.5 hours
Aug - 15.8 hours
Sep - 13.0 hours
Oct - 10.1 hours
Nov - 7.2 hours
Dec - 5.5 hours
This does not change over night when the month changes though. It changes a few minutes every night.

It should be noted that the amount of daylight/nighttime hours does vary depending on each location's proximity and relativity to the Arctic Circle. Some parts of Alaska, in fact, have a full 24 hours of daylight for up-to 85 consecutive days each year.

Why does is stay dark in Alaska?

Why light coloured clothes are more suitable in summer and dark clothes in winter?
Dark objects tend to absorb heat more than light objects so dark clothing in the winter absorbs heat from the sun and helps keep you warmer. Light clothing in the summer does no tabsorb heat as much so it helps you stay a little cooler,
What is Alaska length of day and night?
It depends on where you live in the state. The farther North you live, the longer the daylight is in Summer, and the shorter it is in the Winter. In th June/July months, most of the state never sees the night sky (even if you're far enough south for it to get dark, you'd have to stay up past midnight to see it). And in the Winter, Anchorage has about 6 hours of daylight (from 10AM to 4PM) in the month of December.
