"Dan" means gray-brown or dark color.

Shakespeare uses this term to describe a woman's breasts, including all imperfections, without creating a typical model of female beauty.

"Damask rose" refers to a damask or streaked rose with a velvety pink scent.

In this word, the poet continues to realistically portray her body, saying that his mistress does not have rosy cheeks like the roses of Damascus in her garden.

Shakespeare uses these two words in his "Sonnet 130" to emphasize the contrast between a typical model of female beauty and a realistic portrayal of his loved one.
