What color is Sherwin Williams Bitter Chocolate?
Sherwin Williams Bitter Chocolate SW 6013 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable softened red cast that keeps it from reading flat or black. At #4d3c3c, it has substantial depth, making it especially effective for a dining room, library, powder room, or a built-in feature wall. In bright natural light, its brown character is easier to see, while lower light can draw out its dusky wine-toned undertone. Bitter Chocolate pairs well with warm off-whites, creamy plaster finishes, aged brass, walnut, and cognac leather. Use it on cabinetry or trim when you want a dark finish with more visible warmth than charcoal.

LRV of Bitter Chocolate
Bitter Chocolate has an LRV of 5.17% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
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 5.17%, 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.
