No, it is not accurate to say that the color you see in pitch darkness has a specific name. In complete darkness, where there is an absence of any light stimulus, the visual perception of color is impossible because color is a property of light. In the absence of light, our eyes do not receive any visual input, and therefore we perceive darkness rather than a specific color.

However, some people may report experiencing a phenomenon called "visual snow" or "noise" in conditions of very low light. This is characterized by the perception of tiny flickering dots or specks of light in the visual field. These visual disturbances are not specific colors but rather visual artifacts that can be attributed to various factors such as the normal functioning of the visual system or underlying eye conditions. It's important to consult an eye care professional if you experience persistent or bothersome visual disturbances.
