FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging itim; ang kalagayan ng matinding kadiliman o kawalan ng liwanag.
EN: blackness, darkness
This is the 'emo' level of black. Not just 'itim', but the very essence of it. It's the color of your soul after a rough week, the darkness in a horror movie just before the jump scare, or the color of the strongest, unsweetened kape barako.
From ka- + itim + -an, denoting the abstract quality of being 'black'.
Can be used literally for color or figuratively for concepts like gloom, evil, or despair.
