between daylight and darkness,
whether that's after sunset, or before sunrise.

Twilight is the period between sunset and dusk.
During twilight there is still light in the sky. ...
Dusk is the point when the sun is at 18 degrees

diffused and often pinkish.
The sun is below the horizon, but its rays are scattered
by Earth's atmosphere to create the colors of twilight.
