The correct answer is It does not interact strongly with light, but it does have gravity like other matter.

The dull matter is called dim on the grounds that it doesn't seem to connect with the electromagnetic field, which implies it doesn't ingest, reflect or discharge electromagnetic radiation, and is in this way hard to recognize.
