What color is Benjamin Moore Chocolate Sundae?

Benjamin Moore Chocolate Sundae 2113-10 is a deep brown with a muted, earthy cast, based on its #5B3F36 color value. Its low brightness gives walls a substantial, cocooning look, while the subtle reddish-brown presence keeps it from reading as flat black-brown. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its brown character; at night or in low light, it will appear notably darker and more enveloping. Use Chocolate Sundae on a dining room, study, library, or powder room where a dark wall color can feel intentional rather than heavy. It also makes a grounded choice for cabinetry or an accent wall beside warm ivory, clay, oatmeal, natural wood, aged brass, and matte black details.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 6.92%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
