What Color Is Lunar Eclipse, Really?
Lunar Eclipse reads as a cool blue-green tone — very dark — reads black in most rooms. The notes below cover how Dunn-Edwards DE5776 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Lunar Eclipse
Lunar Eclipse earns its keep as a statement: accent walls, a front door, cabinetry, a moody powder room, or exterior trim where you want sharp contrast. Teals add character without shouting — good for a vanity, an island or a feature wall.
How Lighting Changes Lunar Eclipse
At LRV 7, Lunar Eclipse is about as dark as paint gets — it reads near-black on a wall and reveals its character only in direct daylight or under warm bulbs. Its teal undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. In rooms with little natural light it can feel heavy, so reserve it for spaces you want to feel enveloping.
Most complaints about Lunar Eclipse are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
