Sherwin Williams

Dark Auburn

SW 6034

Dark Night (hex #23383F) is a deep, low-chroma blue with a green undertone that keeps it from reading as a pure navy. Its LRV of 4 places it among the darkest paint colors available, absorbing nearly all ambient light. The green shift prevents it from feeling stark or icy, lending a grounded, slightly teal-adjacent quality.

It functions well on accent walls, cabinetry, or built-ins where controlled lighting can define the color. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Pure White deliver clean contrast without harshness, while muted teals and soft sage greens maintain the cool-neutral direction of the palette.
