Accually, It is quite bright in most space or ether of space. Photons of light travel in all directions in open space as well as many deadly radiations. All the photons need is a place to land on for us to see an object. We see the shape of an object as the photons impact on its surface. The only dark space is theoretical... Dark matter. The scientist and astronomers are close to proving its existance.

There is no atmosphere in space which traps both light and heat. since there aren't any light trapped in the space, all you see is darkness. Also we see the color of the things in our environment due to the pigment they contain, like leaves contain a green pigment that reflects green light, and so see leaves as green things. the space does not contain pigments of any kind and it absorbs every color. Because of this, your eyes sees nothing( Black is not a color). You'll also notice that only planets and stars contain color.

Darkness is simply absence of visible light and is a limitation of the human senses. There is really no darkness since the whole universe is pervaded by radiation, albeit invisible to the human eye but detectable (and detected) by instruments.

Since there is no atmosphere in space(only vaccum), therefore scattering of white light does not occur in space(their are no colloidal particles in space like in atmosphere-dust particles,air molecules,etc). Therefore the light rays does not enter in our eyes and hence the space is dark.

Light is seen when it reflects off a surface.
Space is full of light, but not matter to reflect it.
