About Chocolate Sundae
Chocolate Sundae (2113-10) is a very dark red from Benjamin Moore with a soft pink undertone. With an LRV of 6, Chocolate Sundae absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Chocolate Sundae's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. Next to Pine Cone Brown (2113-20), it's darker.
How Chocolate Sundae changes with the light
Chocolate Sundae is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.
North-facing rooms
Chocolate Sundae will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Chocolate Sundae will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Chocolate Sundae can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Chocolate Sundae will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
