@tanguatlay,
In a figurative sense, I guess you might say 'dingy'.

@tanguatlay,
I would say "dull" or "dim"

@WendyLou,
Maybe so, WendyLou. I was taking it as a glowing personality or face, but I guess yours works there, too.

@tanguatlay,
Of light...DIM, FEEBLE.
Of a report....DAMNING.

@fresco,
If I give a glowing report on somebody's work performance, what would be the word, which is opposite to it, to describe a negative report on the other worker.

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
positive-negative
glowing-damning/scathing (are more extreme than positive-negative)
