Benjamin Moore

Bittersweet Chocolate

2114-10

Bittersweet Chocolate is a very dark brown with violet undertones. Its LRV of 5.1 means it absorbs most light and reads near-black in low light. It works in dining rooms, libraries, or accent walls that need depth.

White Dove and Balboa Mist provide light relief, while Hale Navy and Hunter Green add cool contrast. Sea Salt or Palladian Blue can soften adjacent areas.

Bittersweet Chocolate in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
