How Dark is it in deep space?

Whenever you see the Starship Enterprise off on a mission, an 'outside' shot always shows the vessel in full visiblity - but how visible would it be? must you always be illuminated by lights on the top, or a planet nearby? If we were away from any planets and suns, and I were to space walk a few hundred yards away from the ship, and it had no lights on the outside, would I only see stars and a black 'shadow' where the ship was? Or is there always residual light? could I for example see my own hand in front of my face? or is there a point where you can see nothing nearby, but only stars and galaxies in the distance?

If a human grows up in space, what sensations (e.g. coriolis) would they not be used to upon visiting earth?

Aside from bone and muscle differences, which have already been covered.

For example, someone who grows up without being spun around at 400m/s as the world spins; would they feel as if they were spinning when they set down or entered orbit?
