What color is Sherwin Williams Dark Night?

Sherwin Williams Dark Night SW 6237 is a deeply muted blue-green with a cool, charcoal-like cast. Its low-light appearance can read nearly blackened navy, while daylight brings out the restrained teal and slate-blue undertones in #23383f. Use it on a study wall, built-in cabinetry, or a dining room ceiling when you want depth without a bright marine look. Dark Night pairs well with soft off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, and warm leather, which keep the color from feeling too cold. On an exterior, it has enough weight for shutters or a front door, especially alongside light stone or creamy trim.

LRV of Dark Night

Dark Night has an LRV of 3.59% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 3.59%, 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.
