It can be, at night. The cloud layers of sulfur dioxide that block our view of the planet are fairly translucent, allowing dim light to illuminate the planet during the daytime (which lasts about 58 Earth days). It is extremely dark at night, though volcanoes or lightning may provide some illumination.
The night is also about 58 Earth days long, but it does not get much cooler. The thick carbon dioxide atmosphere carries the solar heat from the sunlit side to the poles and the night side, effectively maintaining a constant year-round temperature near 460 °C for the entire planet.

∙ 11y agoThe night side of Venus can become VERY dark. The planet has a solar day, sunrise to sunrise, of about 116 Earth days. Once the slow rotation carries a location out of the sunlit side, twilight would likely continue for part of the night, but the darkness would become nearly complete after a few Earth days, because no stars or other objects can be seen from the surface. The only potential for light could be volcanic activity or the associated lightning.
Even on the sunlit side, the brightness on Venus is dimmed by the heavy haze of sulfur dioxide clouds that blanket the entire planet. Noon on Venus would be no brighter than an overcast day on Earth, and the exact position of the Sun would likely not be detectable from the surface.
