What is the name of the portion of a simulated flame out between high key and base key?

In lighting terms, key levels describe how bright or dim the scene is. A flame that’s dying goes from bright (high key) to a lower, baseline level (base key). The portion where the light is at the lower end of that scale—showing dimmer brightness and stronger shadows as the flame fades—is labeled low key. This describes the dim phase between the bright high key moment and the baseline base key, capturing the transition to a darker, more contrasty look. Mid key would imply a middle brightness not specifically tied to the dying transition, while final key isn’t a standard label and high key is the bright end.
