What color is Sherwin Williams Hot Cocoa?
Sherwin Williams Hot Cocoa SW 6047 is a muted, mid-depth brown with a noticeable rosy cast that keeps it from reading flat or overly earthy. Its warm red-brown undertone can appear a little more taupe in soft daylight, while evening lighting tends to bring out its cocoa-like warmth. It has enough depth for a dining room, den, or bedroom wall, especially when paired with creamy off-whites and natural oak. Hot Cocoa also suits painted cabinetry or a single accent wall alongside aged brass, cognac leather, and linen upholstery. For contrast, use it with pale warm neutrals rather than stark white, which can make its subdued undertones look more pronounced.
LRV of Hot Cocoa
Hot Cocoa has an LRV of 14% 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 14%, 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.
