Dark (in Creole)

dark (as in: unlit) → nwa
darkness → fènwa
to darken → nwasi
example:
It's dark (adj.).
Li fè nwa.

It's too dark outside (adj.).
Li fè twò nwa deyò a.

I don't like to drive in the dark (n.).
Mwen pa renmen kondi nan fènwa.

They're living in darkness (n.).
Y'ap viv nan fènwa.

She darkened (v.) her hair.
Li nwasi cheve l.

Nwa (as in: darker shade) → fonse
example:
She was wearing a dark blue shirt.
Li te mete yon chemiz ble fonse.

I want to paint the walls with a dark color.
Mwen vle pentire mi yo ak yon koulè fonse.
