The "darkening" blending modes are those that create darker results by combining the base and blend colors. These modes are commonly used in digital art and image manipulation to add depth, shading, or contrast.
Darken mode
Darkening
Darken
Compares the darkness of the pixels in each RGBRGBRGB refers to a digital image in which the color of each pixel is encoded in three separate channels (for Red, Green and Blue primary colors) or to the RGB color space (the system of encoding color with these primary colors). channel. Only the pixels darker than the underlying color are retained.

Linear Burn
Decreases the brightness of underlying colors based on value of blended color. Similar
to Color Burn mode, but less saturated. Darker than Multiply mode.
