Valspar

Raspberry Truffle

M101

Raspberry Truffle is a blackened berry brown with a muted wine undertone. The near black value makes the berry feel enveloping. The color belongs for a den, small dining room, or cabinet color when plain brown feels too flat.

The very dark value needs layered lamps and contrast. For Raspberry Truffle, Warm white plus aged brass. In matte paint, expect a softer, almost charcoal finish. Keep the ceiling pale.
