For example, a darkvision character standing next to a torch in an area that would otherwise be shrouded in darkness (the character seeing in shades of grey out to 60 feet, and treating that entire range as dimly lit), they see as if brightly lit and in color out to 20 feet, as if brightly lit and in shades of grey for 20 feet beyond that (or dimly lit color, if the DM allows the choice rather than granting the generally more beneficial), and as if dimly lit and in shades of grey for the remaining 20 feet of their darkvision.I know I can, so I believe that you can too if you play up the right elements, such as it's monstrously shaped shadow stretching along the walls, cast by the dim lighting of the dungeon.</blockquote>
