You wake up early in the morning and your room is fairly dark. you look over and see your shirt hanging on a hook. you know it's your red shirt because you hung it up there before you went to bed, but in the dark you can't see its color. it looks dark gray to you. why is that?

Because i wake up early in the morning and my room is fairly dark. So there was night and view of my room is dark black. My red shirt is looking dark gray because there is dark black color in my room so red color absorbs black color so it looks dark gray to my eyes.
