Coffeehouse Chocolate
At first glance, Coffeehouse Chocolate belongs to the brown family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.

Manufacturer description
