About Coffeehouse Chocolate
Coffeehouse Chocolate (CW-165) is a very dark beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 5, Coffeehouse Chocolate 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 Coffeehouse Chocolate'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 Tudor Brown (HC-185), it's warmer.
How Coffeehouse Chocolate changes with the light
Coffeehouse Chocolate 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
Coffeehouse Chocolate will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Coffeehouse Chocolate 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 Coffeehouse Chocolate can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Coffeehouse Chocolate will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
