Chocolate Milk

V132-5

Chocolate Milk is a medium-deep taupe brown with a softened beige cast. It feels more grown-up than the name suggests. A den, bedroom, or cabinet wall benefits when the design needs warmth without orange.

The color may look dull beside cool gray floors, so test near the largest fixed surface. Cream trim and woven shades will bring out the warmer side. Add black accents if the room needs sharper edges.

Chocolate Milk 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.
