Valspar

Con Brio

V005-3

Con Brio is a deep raspberry red with a cool berry undertone. It has confidence and needs restraint around it. A front door, powder room vanity, or dining room cabinet can carry the color better than a large open living area.

The shade will darken in shadow, so use trim contrast and good lighting. Pair with ivory, charcoal, or aged brass. Green accents need careful handling because the contrast becomes festive quickly.

Con Brio 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.
