Behr

Black Mocha

PPU24-01

Behr Black Mocha is a deep warm neutral with brown-gray undertones that place it between dark charcoal and warm espresso. With an LRV of 28.1, it absorbs a significant amount of light, making it most practical on accent walls, cabinetry, front doors, and trim rather than as a full-room wall color in smaller spaces. The brown undertone prevents it from reading as flat or cool black, lending it warmth under both natural and artificial light.

This shade pairs effectively with Behr Swiss Coffee, Behr Ashen Tan, Behr Aged Beige, and Behr Cracked Pepper.
