Afterglow(AF-ter-gloh)

Quick Detail: Afterglow is the lingering light that remains after a flame or sunset fades, a soft radiance left behind.

Definition: Afterglow is the soft remainder of light that stays behind when the source has passed. It often appears as a muted warmth in the sky or a gentle radiance that clings to a room after a candle is extinguished. The glow feels quieter than the moment that created it, like an echo made of color. Afterglow suggests calm, but also the sense that something has just ended. It is the final trace before darkness settles fully.
