Gant light consumes other colors around it.[3] Zee-beasts go to a place called the Gant Pole to die.[4]
Gant is usually portrayed as a sort of warm grey.[5] This portrayal may be inspired by the color eigengrau (German: "intrinsic grey"), which people in real life reportedly see in the absence of light. It could also be a reference to cosmic latte, the light-beige average color of the universe.
Uses
Gant is the color of the figurehead of the Eater of Names,[6] and perhaps most notoriously, it is also the color of the Avid Horizon's gate.[7]
Gant ink is used to remove or negate tattoos;[8] it also can be used as an invisible ink, meant for writing Licentiates' aliases.[9] Gant ink and liquid might remind one of tarnished silver or mercury,[10] though this may be an optical illusion.[11] In extremely concentrated forms, it is nearly invisible and can cause eye-strain.[12][13]
Gant light is usually invisible[14] but induces the sensation of "gnawing on the inside of one's head."[15] Objects exposed to gant light appear washed of color afterwards,[16] and Mirrorcatch Boxes containing gant light feel less heavy than usual.[17]

↑Avid Horizon, Sunless Sea"Two vast winged shapes guard a gate of something like resin [...] It is deep gant - the colour that remains when all other colours have been eaten."
↑Join the Old Zailors, Sunless Sea"You undress and step into the shallow pool. Its surface is the silver of mercury, though that is only a trick of the darkness."
