Wall Street is definitely dark, with an LRV of 15, but I wouldn’t call it too dark. It’s deep and moody, but it's not overwhelming or gloomy.

How dark it feels really depends on your room’s lighting. Give it a swatch in your space and see what you think!

Because they're so close, it’s especially important to try them on your walls before choosing.
