It is probably better to refer to the Dark Ages as the Early Middle Ages, if the time intended is 476 to 1000 AD. Otherwise, it is better to refer to the time as the Middle Ages, or part of the Middle Ages.
The term dark ages is based on the idea that this was a time of ignorance and lack of intellectual development, which is not the case. The decline in intellectual activity began in the second or third century, and was largely complete by the year 476.
During the so-called Dark Ages, there was a slow growth in learning. Schools were being opened during the entire period, architecture was developing, things were being invented, at least one encyclopedia was written, and commerce was slowly improving.

Is the name dark ages accurate?
I would say the name Dark Ages creates a misunderstanding of the time. The original meaning of the term Dark Ages was a time that was obscure because people did not write much down. The term implies a time especially troubling and difficult. While the Dark Ages were a time with their share of wars, plague, and famine, they were really more a time of recovery from the collapse of the Roman Empire. The Carolingian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, and the Ottonian Renaissance were all times of cultural advance during the so-called Dark Ages.
