Valspar

Berry Pretty

V040-5

Berry Pretty is a deep muted berry-purple with a smoky brown base. It has restraint. The shade fits on a powder room wall, vanity, or dramatic built-in when the surrounding materials stay simple.

Across a whole room, it needs lamps and pale trim. Pair with dark wood, cream stone, or brushed brass. In daylight, the purple reads clearer. At night, it settles closer to plum brown.

Berry Pretty 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.
