Sherwin Williams

Dancing Green

SW 6716

Danube (hex #2377A2) is a cool, saturated blue with subtle purple undertones that shift its character away from a standard primary blue. At an LRV of 16, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a medium-dark tone, best used in rooms with ample daylight or strong artificial lighting. The purple lean gives it a slightly complex character suited to contemporary and coastal applications.

Sherwin-Williams Icicle and Frosty White pair cleanly for high contrast, while Indigo Batik and Secure Blue provide analogous depth. Coral Clay introduces a warm complement.

Dancing Green 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.
