I saw there is a verb grauen
https://www.dwds.de/wb/grauen#1
and it says this is for getting light or dark – I’ve only encountered it with morning. Do you have any thoughts about using it for getting dark?
I only know it for the morning, but if someone said “Abendgrauen”, I’d of course understand. That sounds very poetic in a way.
