What do you mean? Why grain in dark areas looks rougher? The dark areas are dark coz silver transforms and blocks the light, so this area becomes less transparent, therefore the grain becomes more visible... The bright areas stay more transparent (let more light through) so you see less grain! Why grain is usually more visible in blue areas? Coz the grain in the blue emulsion has usually a higher diameter (up to 1/3 higher iirc) than in the red / green one! However, all this things can vary a lot depending on the exact purpose the film material was made / developed / thought / tweaked for -> in-door shooting, outdoor shooting, low light condition, etc... Or you meant that you want some more general info about film / photography? Some random links: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. But theres much much more out there, google is your friend! ;)
