Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black (SW 6258)

When designers want a true, no-undertone black, Tricorn Black is the default specification. It's the blackest black in Sherwin-Williams' lineup without venturing into the "novelty" territory of ultra-blacks. It reads clean and decisive on front doors, window frames, fireplace surrounds, and bathroom tile. The trend of black-painted interiors — from moody bedrooms to dramatic dining rooms — lives and dies on the right black, and Tricorn Black is it. No green, no blue, no purple — just black.
