Sherwin Williams

Danube

SW 6803

Daphne (hex #899CAA) is a soft, cool blue carrying gray undertones that reduce its saturation and lend a quiet, muted quality. With an LRV of 32, it sits in the medium range, dark enough to register as a definite color but light enough to avoid closing in a room. The dominant blue hue stays firmly cool, tempered by the gray component.

Sherwin-Williams Olympus White or Gray Screen layer well for a tonal cool scheme, while Shoji White and Natural Linen add warmth. Rain and Sea Salt extend the blue family, and Cyberspace provides a strong dark anchor.
