"mood lighting" has been a thing in all forms of media for quite some time..... Except if you look at the map of Remnant, you can see areas where there are human populations tend to be lighter. Areas more distant, and thus more populated by Grimm, are visibly darker. The best example is that continent west of Vale that looks like a dragon. You have a small strip along the coast, the area most likely to be inhabited by humans, that is light and it gets progressively darker to near black the further you get from human activity. It suggests the darkening that happens when Grimm appear is not merely "mood lighting" in the show, but an actual effect of Grimm presence. One could say their darkness is like an Aura.
