Valspar

Barely Berry

V078-1

Barely Berry is a pale mauve-pink with a gray veil. It reads quiet, not sugary. Consider it for a guest room, vanity area, or closet where a plain neutral would feel dull.

The color can look more pink beside green accents and more gray beside warm woods. Ivory trim keeps the mauve gentle. Very crisp white can make the mauve side stand out in a way that feels cooler.

Barely Berry in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
