Dark wallpapers

When each wallpaper was catalogued it was classed as light, medium or dark; these are the dark ones. Measuring overall brightness afterwards confirmed the split: this group averages 73 on a 0–255 scale against 111 for the medium group. White clocks and icon labels hold up well, and the screen is easy on the eyes at night. Sorted darkest first.
