What color is Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black?
Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black SW 6258 is an extremely deep near-black with a clean, largely neutral appearance. Its #2f2f30 value keeps it from reading as a flat void, revealing a faint charcoal cast when light reaches the surface. In bright rooms, Tricorn Black can show its subtle softness and depth; in low light, it reads much closer to black. Use it for dramatic cabinetry, interior doors, window trim, or a focused accent wall rather than covering a small room from floor to ceiling. It pairs well with crisp white, pale oak, warm brass, natural stone, and textured linen for contrast against its dark finish.

LRV of Tricorn Black
Tricorn Black has an LRV of 2.85% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 2.85%, 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.
