Valspar

Berry Brown

1010-7

Berry Brown is wine-brown pushed close to black by a strong purple-red undertone. It is nearly black. This shade belongs on accent surfaces, interior doors, or a moody powder room with excellent lighting.

LRV 3 leaves very little bounce, so pale trim and reflective finishes matter. Pair with warm brass or creamy stone. Matte paint will show hand marks quickly, especially on cabinets and doors.
