7pm
When daylight fades
Seven o'clock in the evening, twelve hours after 7am.
In American usage, the colon separates hours from minutes (7:00pm), while British style often uses a period (7.00pm) or omits punctuation entirely.
The designation marks the transition into evening hours—dinner time, prime-time television, the end of a workday: The meeting starts at 7pm.
