Would you use ser or estar to describe a cave's darkness?
Thanks.

HI bng, welcome to the forum 
well, this is on one of the few cases where you can say both
está oscura: Normally the cave has some light, but not today
es oscura: it is always pitch dark

I know the grammar says that it could be 'es' but is anyone used to hearing it put that way ... la cueva es oscura?
No me suena natural

It depends. Are we saying it's always dark, or that it's especially dark at the moment?

Voy a tener que decir ... La cueva esta oscura.
Aunque sea una descripcion, lo que me viene a la mente es esta, en vez de es.
Espero que esto le haya ayudado
