Chocolate (color)
The color chocolate is a tone of dark brown that resembles chocolate. At right is displayed the color traditionally called ''chocolate''.
The first recorded use of ''chocolate'' as a color name in English was in 1737.〔Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 192; Color Sample of Chocolate: Page 39 Plate 8 Color Sample H10 Note: the color shown above as "chocolate" matches the color sample in this book shown as "chocolate"〕
This color is a representation of the color of the most common type of chocolate, milk chocolate.
==Etymology==
The word ''chocolate'' entered the English language from Spanish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bartleby.com/61/68/C0316800.html )〕 How the word came into Spanish is less certain, and there are multiple competing explanations. Perhaps the most cited explanation is that "chocolate" comes from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, from the word "chocolātl", which many sources derived from the Nahuatl word "xocolātl" made up from the words "xococ" meaning sour or bitter, and "ātl" meaning water or refreshment.〔 However, as William Bright noted the word "chocolatl" does not occur in central Mexican colonial sources making this an unlikely derivation. Santamaria gives a derivation from the Yucatec Maya word "chokol" meaning hot, and the Nahuatl "atl" meaning water. More recently Dakin and Wichmann derive it from another Nahuatl term, "chicolatl" from Eastern Nahuatl meaning "beaten drink". They derive this term from the word for the frothing stick, "chicoli".
