Valspar

Smoked Mulberry

1004-7B

Smoked Mulberry is a deep mauve-brown with a gray smoked edge. The low LRV lets the mauve-brown side read smoky, not sweet. The color suits powder rooms, furniture, or a small library area where a muted plum brings character.

LRV 15 means it needs intentional lighting on walls. Warm lamps reveal the berry note. Cool daylight pulls it closer to brown-gray. Cream trim or dark wood suits it, and shiny chrome should stay limited.

Smoked Mulberry 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.
