What color is Sherwin Williams Danube?
Sherwin Williams Danube SW 6803 is a clear medium blue with a noticeable blue-green cast that keeps it from reading overly navy or icy. Its depth gives walls definition, while the fairly strong saturation makes it especially effective in a powder room, home office, or on built-in shelving. In bright daylight, Danube can appear cleaner and slightly more turquoise; under warmer evening lighting, it settles into a richer blue. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or warm brass for contrast. It also has enough presence for a front door, shutters, or a single accent wall when a room needs a more deliberate hit of color.

LRV of Danube
Danube has an LRV of 16.01% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 16.01%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
