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.
