Valspar

Wisp of Cocoa

M151

Wisp of Cocoa is a warm beige carrying a soft cocoa undertone, lighter and smoother than the name suggests. Cocoa stays subtle. It brings warmth to a living room with pale stone or woven shades.

The color works better with ivory trim than icy white. Direct sun can bring out more gold. In shade, it lands as a quiet beige-taupe.
