Valspar

Cherry Mocha

1006-7C

Cherry Mocha is a deep rosy brown with a softened red base. It feels grounded and warm. Choose it for a vanity, interior door, or cozy office wall where a brown needs a little romance.

The shade pairs naturally with ivory and aged brass. In low daylight, it may lose the cherry note. Add warm lamps before judging the final color.
