Dark doesn't move. But if it did, it would be the speed of light.

Newtons 3 laws come to mind,
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
With those 3 Laws having been confirmed and accepted as fact, the speed of nothing is the opposite of the speed of something. Light is an Energy Force, it is atoms moving in action.
Darkness is the absence of Light and Matter.
Now it has been proposed that a Dark Matter exists, this is Theoretical Physics, but it is intriguing.
For the sake of the question I shall assume that Anti Matter=Dark, it doesn't, but we can pretend. A black hole does have Gravity and does Attract and Bend Light Waves, in some theories it actually consumes the Light Energy.
If the speed of Light, in a Vacum is 186,282.397 miles per second, then the opposite is the speed of Dark.
Newtons 3rd Law.

Darkness is the phenomena that occur due to abscence of light. so the speed of dark is the same as the speed at which light disappears and it is variable. for example imagine of someone trying to block the sunlight using a cardboard. the rate at which the card board is moving determines the speed at which dark is moving to you or away from you.

Speed of dark is the speed of light, halved and then divided by the area that is darkened. That is your equation. be well, Jack

Darkness is the abscence of light, therefore the speed of darkness would be zero, as light comes in waves that are measured in speed
Just like there is no scientific thing such as cold; only the lack of heat

it has no speed only a commen attraction with its opposite
light is something else

Maybe the opposite of light.

"Dark" is just light, just less of it, so in a vacuum it would b 3.02 x 10^8 m/s

The Speed of Dark is a near-future science fiction novel by Elizabeth Moon. The story is told from the first person viewpoint of an autistic computer programmer. It won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 2003, and was also an Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist

Could you see it move?
