What color is Sherwin Williams Cocoa Berry?
Sherwin Williams Cocoa Berry SW 9078 is a muted medium-tone brown with a soft rosy cast, shaped by its gray-beige base. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overly pink, giving walls a quiet, weathered look in daylight. In warm artificial light, Cocoa Berry can read a little more blush-brown, while cooler daylight brings forward its subdued taupe side. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms, especially alongside creamy off-whites, charcoal, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen. Use this shade on full walls for a cocooning effect or on cabinetry and built-ins where its earthy color can add gentle contrast.

LRV of Cocoa Berry
Cocoa Berry has an LRV of 26.74% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 26.74%, 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.
