Benjamin Moore

Chocolate Velvet

CSP-235

Chocolate Velvet is a medium-dark brown with muted warm undertones and a low red cast. With an LRV of 19.62, it reads deep but not as heavy as near-black browns. It is suitable for bedrooms, offices, or feature walls that need a grounded brown.

White Dove and Simply White keep trim clean and light. Hale Navy or Tarrytown Green provide contrast without shifting the palette cool.
