Chocolate Diamonds

V133-6

Chocolate Diamonds is a very dark brown gray with a smoky taupe edge. It is best treated like an accent or millwork color, not a standard beige. Use it for built-ins, interior doors, or a small powder room with good lighting.

The low value will make matte walls look velvety but unforgiving. Pair with pale stone, warm white, or brass. If the room lacks contrast, the color can collapse into a heavy shadow.

Chocolate Diamonds in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
