Dinginess is a noun: the quality of being — dark, a bit dirty, and looking worn out. A room can have a dinginess to it: weak light, old paint, dust in the corners, curtains that have gone grey. It is not a strong word for filth; it is quieter, more tired and neglected than disgusting. You meet it more in writing than in chat; in speech people often just say it looks . Though actually, sometimes treat it like an adjective ('a dinginess room') — that slot belongs to , not to this -ness noun.
