What color is Sherwin Williams Chocolate Powder?

Sherwin Williams Chocolate Powder SW 9082 is a muted mid-tone brown with a soft taupe cast and subtle warm, rosy-beige undertones. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly chocolate-dark, giving the color a gently weathered, earthy appearance on broad walls. In warm afternoon light, Chocolate Powder can lean more tan and clay-like, while cooler daylight may bring out its quieter gray-brown side. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a grounded neutral is wanted without using a deep brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty blue-grays, natural linen, aged brass, and medium-toned oak for a layered, material-focused look.

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 28.12%, 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.
