Dark Night

Dark Night is a muted inky blue. Built-ins can carry this depth indoors; an exterior door is another practical placement. Rock Candy and Gossamer Veil are the pale official companions.

Studio Clay adds warmth.

Dark Night 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.
