Maknanya
「ずくめ」 is used to describe an object or situation as "entirely filled with..." indicating that the entire surface or aspect of the object is like that, or that such events continuously occur. It is not used for people or liquids.
「ずくめ」 is similar to 「まみれ」 in the sense of "covered with," but differs in that it often only combines with certain limited words to form fixed phrases, for example 黒ずくめ (not 赤ずくめ or 泥ずくめ). Additionally, 「ずくめ」 can be used to describe both positive and negative aspects of an object or situation, whereas 「まみれ」 is used only with words that convey a sense of discomfort or dirtiness.
