Cocoa Brown

2101-20

Cocoa Brown is a deep red-brown with warm undertones and low chroma. Its LRV of 10.01 places it in the dark range. It works in libraries, dining rooms, or cabinetry where a heavy brown is required.

Warm Sienna and Copper Mountain reinforce the warm palette. Off-White or Soft Chamois lighten trim, while Rustic Brick supports a related red accent.
