Sherwin Williams

Tricorn Black

SW 6258

Tricorn Black is a true neutral black from Sherwin-Williams with no discernible warm or cool undertones, which prevents it from shifting toward brown, blue, or green in changing light. Its LRV of 3 means it absorbs nearly all light, producing a deep, saturated appearance on surfaces. This makes it a practical option for exterior trim, interior doors, cabinetry, and accent walls where strong definition is needed.

It pairs cleanly with Sherwin-Williams Extra White or Pure White for high-contrast schemes, while Repose Gray and Agreeable Gray offer softer transitions. Inkwell can serve as a related dark alternative.
