Chocolate (web) Color 189 - #D2691E

The web color called "chocolate" is displayed at left. This color is actually the color of the exterior of an unripe cocoa bean pod and is not the color of chocolate, a highly processed product, at all. The historical and traditional name for this color is cocoa brown. The first recorded use of cocoa brown as a color name in English was in 1925. This color may also be referred to as light chocolate.

Chocolate is created from the cocoa bean. Shown is a cacao tree with cocoa bean fruit pods (which are filled with cocoa beans inside of them) in various stages of ripening.
