Chocolate Pudding

1014

Chocolate Pudding is a warm brown with noticeable red undertones and a milky base. With an LRV of 17.83, it reads deep but not near-black. It can be used on dining room walls, libraries, or built-ins where a brown-red finish is appropriate.

White Sand and Shaker Beige keep adjacent areas light and warm. Hale Navy and Forest Floor add contrast, while Beacon Hill Damask supports a related warm accent.

Chocolate Pudding 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.
