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] 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] In its concentrated and more visible form, gant ink might remind one of tarnished silver,[10] but in the most concentrated form (like Star-Shell) it looks impossible, hard to look on, or don't percepted visually at all but make another feeling instead (like in Neathoscope). It is one of colors, as well as irrigo, that can be potent enough to block sunlight deadly effects.
