Cocoa Whip

SW 9084

Cocoa Whip (SW, #A08E7E) is a muted, medium-light brown with soft orange undertones that nudge it toward taupe. At an LRV of 28, it provides moderate depth, sitting between lighter neutrals and heavier earth tones. The taupe quality makes it a natural transitional shade in warm palettes.

Alabaster and Greek Villa deliver clean, bright contrast against its warmth. Bona Fide Beige and Threshold Taupe extend a tone-on-tone scheme, while Clary Sage introduces a muted green that gently counters the warm orange base.
