Valspar

Cocoa Berry

V128-5

Cocoa Berry is a dark mauve brown with a smoky red undertone. It can behave like a muted plum-taupe in bedrooms or powder rooms, especially with warm lighting. The color needs pale contrast to avoid turning muddy.

Use it on furniture, paneling, or a small room rather than a wide open area. Pair with ivory, aged brass, or dark wood. Cool gray finishes will make the berry side more noticeable.

Cocoa 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.
