Valspar

Creamy Mocha

V129-5

Creamy Mocha is a mid-tone taupe brown with a subdued rosy undertone. Creamy Mocha feels grounded. Creamy Mocha suits bedrooms, media rooms, and lower kitchen cabinets where gray would look too cool.

In low light, it deepens quickly, so add contrast through trim or stone. Brushed nickel can work, but warmer metals make it softer. Test Creamy Mocha at eye level before painting a whole room.

Creamy Mocha 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.
