Chocolate Heart

N170-5

Chocolate Heart is a medium brown with a rosy taupe undertone. The red base is subtle. It can warm a den, paneled office, or lower cabinets without going as dark as espresso.

On large walls, expect a softened leather quality rather than a clean beige. Cooler daylight may expose the gray side. Pair with oatmeal upholstery, black lamps, or honed stone to keep the room tailored.
