What color is Sherwin Williams Dutch Cocoa?
Sherwin Williams Dutch Cocoa SW 6032 is a muted, medium-depth brown with a noticeable rosy cast and soft grayness that keeps it from reading overly warm. Its dusty cocoa tone can look more earthen and brown in warm incandescent light, while cooler daylight brings out the subdued mauve-taupe side of the color. Dutch Cocoa makes a grounded choice for dining room walls, bedrooms, or a study where darker neutrals are wanted without a heavy charcoal effect. Pair it with creamy off-whites, mushroom taupes, faded olive accents, and natural oak or walnut for a layered, material-focused look. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or an accent wall, especially alongside brushed brass, aged bronze, or matte black hardware.

LRV of Dutch Cocoa
Dutch Cocoa has an LRV of 18.27% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.27%, 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.
