noun
evening twilight; dusk
A literary word for the dim light of evening; synonymous with 暮色. Rare in everyday speech.
See also: 暮色
瞑色が山々を包み始めた。
Evening twilight began to envelop the mountains.
暮色 is a more common literary synonym for evening twilight, while 瞑色 is rarer and carries a slightly more poetic or classical nuance.
Compound of 瞑 (mei, 'dark, close the eyes') or 冥 (mei, 'dark, underworld') and 色 (shoku, 'color'), literally 'dark color' or 'twilight hue'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain; both kanji spellings are literary and rare.
