What defines dark fantasy?

Is it just elves that wear black or is there more to it? Maybe a mood or setting? Maybe it's an antihero thing? Im curious as to what it means and what some of the defining/seminal works of dark fantasy might be.

The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie is also a great grimdark series. Cannot recommend it enough if you haven’t read them. Also, obligatory shout out to the audio books which are some of the best audio books in existence.
