Sherwin Williams

Cocoa Berry

SW 9078

Cocoa Berry (SW, #A08882) is a muted, medium-intensity red-brown with warm brown undertones and a subtle mauve influence. Its LRV of 27 places it in the lower-mid brightness range, providing noticeable depth without reading as dark. The mauve component softens what might otherwise be a straightforward warm brown, adding a slight coolness at its edges.

Egret White and Shoji White maintain warmth while offering contrast. Rosemary and Pewter Green create a grounded, nature-derived pairing, and Smoky Azurite introduces a cooler counterpoint.
