I agree if the expectation was for people to wear black only, then the text of the code should have said “black” and not “dark.”
Formal Dress Codes suck, but at the least the events are usually short and you can at least take off the tie and jacket, maybe roll up the shirt sleeves if they’re long.
Where do you draw the line between black and grey? Dark should mean black or dark grey. Although the reality is that nothing is truly black, one of the closest we’ve seen is Vanta Black.
