Valspar

Mocha Syrup

3002-9B

Mocha Syrup is a deep caramel brown with a warm, coffee-colored base. The caramel brown depth needs trim with enough lift. This color works on lower cabinets, a den wall, or a front door when beige would feel thin.

Choose cream trim with bronze if the palette needs warmth. In weak daylight, it will darken noticeably. Use sheen on high-touch areas so the surface does not look dusty.
