The light falling on a scene always has a predominant colour, such as yellow in the case of the sun, or an orangey hue in the case of tungsten bulbs, blue in the case of a cloudy sky or green in the presence of neon lighting.

Given that your camera's light sensor reduces the dominant brightness in the scene to a "middle grey", how can you tell your camera that the subject is darker or lighter?

All digital cameras have a built-in light meter or "exposure meter".

You will end up with a picture that is too bright when the exposure reading is taken from a subject that is darker than middle grey. To compensate for this, simply correct the exposure while taking the picture.
