Chocolate is a dark shade of brown, similar to coffee or wood in color. As a facade material it is found commonly for all grades of brick including face brick, and for many types of wood. It also appears as a color for stone and clay, including sandstone and terra-cotta.
Hex triplet: 330000
The name identifies appearance rather than a material. Brick, wood, stone, and clay can all produce the dark brown described here. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
