Sweet Daphne

529

Sweet Daphne is a soft spring green with noticeable yellow undertones that give it warmth. Its LRV of 50.07 places it in the mid-light range, allowing it to hold color without overwhelming a room. It works well in living rooms, nurseries, and secondary bedrooms.

Soft Fern and Guilford Green create a cohesive green-based palette. White Dove or Ballet White help neutralize the warmth.

Sweet Daphne in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
