Logically I see where you are coming from, it makes sense to add the word "dark" in front of a color to indicate that it is a darker shade of said color. Look at these three colors as you can see "HTML Gray" is a more darker shade then "HTML DarkGray" but when we look at "HTML LightGray" and its rgb values we see that it is a light version of both "HTML Gray" and "HTML Dark Gray". For Dark Gray it is being compared to Light Gray. And when you look at just those two colors that is how the names are being derived from. At the end of the day they are just names we give for different shades of colors.

-HTML Gray: HEX: #808080 RGB: rgb(128,128,128)

-HTML DarkGray: HEX: #A9A9A9 RGB: rgb(169,169,169)

-HTML LightGray: HEX: #D3D3D3 RGB: rgb(211,211,211)
