Gant
"G is lost in GANT, which remains when all other colours are eaten. Gant can be found where shadows are myriad."[1]
The color of the Neathbow that one sees in the dark, gant is more beige than one might expect.[2]
Properties
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] It may be inspired by the color eigengrau (German: "intrinsic grey"), which people in real life reportedly see in the absence of light.[6] It could also be a reference to cosmic latte, the light-beige average color of the universe.
Uses
Gant is the color of the Eater of Names' boat,[7] and perhaps most notoriously, it is also the color of the Avid Horizon's gate.[8]
Gant ink is used to remove false tattoos;[9] it also can be used as an invisible ink, meant for writing Licentiates' aliases.[10] While still visible, gant ink might remind one of tarnished silver.[11]
