Sherwin Williams

Dark Night

SW 6237

Darkroom (hex #443E40) is a deep, muted purple with gray undertones that suppress its chromatic intensity, producing a color that reads as a complex near-neutral dark. With an LRV of 5, it absorbs most available light and functions best under deliberate lighting conditions. The cool lean is subtle, and the purple identity emerges primarily in side-by-side comparison with true grays.

Sherwin-Williams Plum Dandy and Enigma reinforce the purple direction for analogous layering, while Pure White or Misty supply high-value contrast. Urbane Bronze adds a warm, earthy counterpoint to the cool undertone.
