Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black is one of the most elegant black color paints used mostly in interior and exterior design. Generally, deep black colors are becoming home design favorite colors, whether used to make spice up large surfaces or used to draw attention to architectural features.

Painting in black might actually be scary. However, once you see the dramatic changes it affects, it will be hard to go back. Tricorn Black is one of these most commonly used black hues that help to add detail and personality to your home. Below is our review of the Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black.

What Kind of Paint Color is Tricorn Black?

Pin It!

Did you know that Tricorn Black belongs to the blue-purple color family? However, surprisingly, Tricorn Black is a neutral color. Unlike some major paint colors, the SW 6258 is pure, refined, and unblended.

In addition, it has a 2.8-3% Light Reflectance Value. This LRV value is the reason for Tricorn Black’s dark and bold shade. As a result, you may want to think about where to put this color. Unlike most paint colors, Tricorn Black doesn’t go anywhere and needs to be blended with other colors that help to bring out its best.

What Does Tricorn Black Consist of?

Most black colors contain visible undertones of blue, green, navy, purple, and grey. Are you looking for an alternative? Regardless of its classification under the blue/purple family, this black shade surprisingly lacks any discernible undertones.

Tricorn Black is a safe choice you can make when painting your home with black as a beginner. This is due to its lack of undertones and almost pure black appearance. If you are in the market for a near-true black shade, Tricorn Black SW 6258 is a perfect choice.

What Are the Best Places to Use Tricorn Black in Your Home?

As previously mentioned, you don’t want to paint black on your entire house. Where then can you use Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black?

Tricorn Black on the Exterior Trim

Most interior home designers prefer not to use Tricorn Black SW 6258 on broad surfaces or large houses since it reflects minimal light. On large homes, this color shade tends to fit a bit overwhelming. In addition, it may flatten architectural details.

On the other hand, Tricorn Black can make these details pop when you set it against wide swatches of lighter hues or neutral colors. Using Tricorn Black emphasizes depth and dimension on textured details like garage doors, front doors, trim, and shutters.

Tricorn Black goes well with home exteriors. You can paint the shade on your doors, the trim around the windows, shutters, and the fascia. It gives your home a classic look from the exterior. In addition, painting your exterior with Tricorn Black adds character to the house, especially owing to its exposure to the sun. Tricorn Black is the perfect shade of black, especially when exposed to proper natural or artificial lighting.

Interior

Tricorn Black SW 6258 is a superb paint color for spaces that you want to give a dramatic or classic look. You can use tricorn paint to ground your eyes, provide a focal point in a room, or provide the necessary contrast to a space. As such, if you are using it for the interiors, you should use it sparingly.

The best places to use Tricorn Black for interior painting include cabinets, furniture, fireplaces, and interior trims. You can also paint a section of your walls with Tricorn Black, provided you use it sparingly and with other complementary colors like white or grey.

The color is intensely stunning on walls, especially in a more flat finish. However, in a glossy sheen, the color taps into its dramatic appearance. This makes it ideal for trim, furniture, and exterior elements such as shutters, soffits, or window trims.

Additionally, if you decide to use it on the entire walls, ensure sufficient artificial or natural light in the space. Tricorn black may be too heavy on walls in a dimly lit room. Fortunately, you can consult a paint or interior design expert to help you decide the best places in your home to add Tricorn Black.

Tricorn Black Undertones

Tricorn is ideally a pure black color. This means that it lacks any visible undertone, tints, or tones. This makes the SW 6258 undeniably unique, especially since it is classified under 5PB on the Color Strategist Color Wheel. Generally, its appearance is often classified as just black. It is the safest and one of the most stunning color choices for interior and exterior painting.

Tricorn Black Vs. Other Similar Paints by Sherwin Williams

When it comes to choosing a black color for painting, homeowners often have a hard time choosing due to the availability of a selection of gorgeous black colors. Below is a comparison between Tricorn Black and other almost similar colors to help you choose.

Tricorn Black Vs. Black Magic

Sherwin Williams’ Black Magic appears very black when compared with other colors. However, it is evidently not as black when compared with Tricorn Black. While Tricorn Black lacks any lightness, black magic has a bit of a gray undertone in it. They both have a roughly 3% LRV.

Tricorn Black Vs. Peppercorn

Peppercorn is mildly softer than Tricorn Black and one of the famous paint colors by Sherwin Williams. While it is notably lighter than Tricorn Black (almost light gray), peppercorn is still very dark. Peppercorn is ideal for a home with a farmhouse style, whereas Tricorn Black gives a classic feeling. In addition, the color provides contrast in a more muted fashion. Like Tricorn Black, peppercorn has a 3% LRV.

Tricorn Vs. Iron Ore

Iron ore has also been included in Sherwin Williams’ dark paint colors due to its appeal. It is a very light black or a very dark gray paint color that gives a friendly feeling, unlike Tricorn Black, which gives a sense of elegance or formality. Also, unlike Tricorn Black’s 3% LRV, iron has a 6% LRV value.

"Mike was great to work with. He explained all that needed to be done to install a quality roof that would last. Had other quotes but other contractors were not as informative and did not include everything that was needed. Mike’s crew was courteous, did an excellent job and completed the work in a timely fashion. If you are not familiar with working with insurance adjusters be sure Mike meets with them when you set up a meeting. This was helpful in my case and made the claims process run smoothly. I am very pleased 😀 with his service and recommend him to my neighbors of which two have used him across from my home."
