What color is Dulux Cocoa Butter?
Dulux Cocoa Butter 25YY 78/232 is a light, warm cream with a clear peach-apricot cast. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the soft orange-yellow undertone prevents it from reading as plain off-white. In daylight, Cocoa Butter appears fresh and gently sunlit; under warmer evening lighting, its peach note becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and softly lit hallways, especially alongside pale oak, woven linen, and natural stone. Pair this shade with chalky whites, muted terracotta, or soft sage accents for contrast that still feels grounded.

LRV of Cocoa Butter
Cocoa Butter has an LRV of 76% and refers to Off‑White 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 76%, 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.
