think really hard about this...i black lightbulb? it doesnt make sense. it would be the same as just spray painting the halo black

nightshade will turn it black just when you turn on the light it will change to whichever color you choose

your not understanding. something cant "glow" black. black is the absense of light meaning it will not emit light

You know when you shine a bright light thew a dark tinted window how it kinda glows but its still dark.
