Bold Interior Paint Ideas for Utah Homes: Sherwin-Williams Dark Night

Thinking about going bold with your next paint

project?

If you're drawn to moody, deep hues that bring a sense of luxury and calm to a space, let us introduce you to one of Sherwin-Williams’ most striking colors: Dark Night SW 6237.

This rich, inky blue has become a designer favorite—and for good reason. It's bold without being overwhelming, sophisticated without being cold, and works in a surprising number of spaces.

Whether you're painting a feature wall, a home office, or your entire exterior, Dark Night can add serious drama and elegance to your home.

What Kind of Color is Dark Night?

Dark Night is a deep navy blue with teal-green undertones, placing it firmly in the “cool” color family. It's darker than your typical navy, but not quite as intense as a black or charcoal.

On the wall, it reads as a moody, dramatic hue—but thanks to its green undertones, it feels more vibrant and earthy than sterile. This makes it incredibly versatile, whether you’re designing a cozy library or a bold kitchen island.

Where to Use Dark Night

Dark Night is a standout shade, and like most bold colors, a little can go a long way—or you can go all in for a modern, moody look. Here are some of our favorite ways to use it:

✅ Accent Walls

Create a focal point in your bedroom or living room by painting one wall in Dark Night and balancing it with warm neutrals like Gossamer Veil or Shoji White.

✅ Cabinetry & Built-ins

Dark Night works beautifully on kitchen cabinets, office built-ins, or bathroom vanities. Pair it with brushed brass hardware and white quartz for a luxe, designer look.

✅ Home Offices or Libraries

If you're designing a productive space, this deep hue brings focus, calm, and just enough edge.

✅ Exterior Use

Dark Night is becoming more popular for exteriors—especially for modern craftsman or farmhouse-style homes. It pairs beautifully with natural wood accents or white trim.

What Colors Pair Well with Dark Night?

One of the best things about Dark Night is how easily it pairs with both warm and cool colors. Try it with:

• Rock Candy (SW 6231) –  a cool, airy blue-gray that balances the richness of Dark Night with a soft, subtle touch. Great for ceilings, trim, or adjacent rooms.

• Gossamer Veil (SW 9165) – a versatile, warm greige that adds softness and warmth without stealing the spotlight.

• Studio Clay (SW 9172) - a grounded, earthy neutral that brings a natural warmth to the boldness of Dark Night. Perfect for woodwork or accent areas.

• Brass hardware or oak wood tones – adds warmth and richness

• Muted greens, soft pinks, or copper accents – for a touch of color

Is Dark Night Too Dark?

Dark Night is definitely a bold choice, but that’s what makes it special. To keep it from overwhelming your space, use it strategically:

• In well-lit rooms with lots of natural light

• As an accent color on one wall, cabinetry, or furniture

• Paired with light flooring, trim, or textiles to keep the room feeling balanced
