Tricorn Black review: Sherwin-Williams SW 6258

Tricorn Black in real light

Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.

North light North light is even and indirect, showing Tricorn Black close to its swatch value without much shift.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Tricorn Black looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South light is bright and warm most of the day, which can soften Tricorn Black's cooler undertone without erasing it.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.

true neutral black-charcoal, minimal undertone shift.

The truest black in Sherwin-Williams' lineup, with almost no undertone shift by light; a common front door and cabinet color, though a full room needs strong artificial lighting to avoid feeling like a cave.
