Domino

SW 6989

Domino (SW 6989) is a deep near-black with subtle blue undertones that separate it from a pure neutral black. At an LRV of 3, it absorbs nearly all light, making it most effective on accent walls, cabinetry, exterior trim, or front doors where high contrast is desired. In low light it reads as a solid black, while direct sunlight may reveal the underlying blue cast.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Pure White (SW 7005) and Extra White (SW 7006) for sharp contrast. Adding Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) or Repose Gray (SW 7015) provides mid-tone transition, and Naval (SW 6244) offers a related deep-blue companion.

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.
