Coffeehouse Chocolate

CW-165

Coffeehouse Chocolate is a very dark brown with a neutral warm undertone and low reflectance. Its LRV of 6.61 puts it near the low end of reflectance. It fits libraries, dining rooms, or built-ins where a heavy brown is acceptable.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee keep surrounding areas light. Simply White can be used on trim, while Hale Navy or Salamander add contrast.
