Ancient Fresco

V089-4

Ancient Fresco is a medium tan with a warm clay-gold undertone. It feels plastery. Ancient Fresco suits dining rooms, entries, or bedrooms where a wall color should feel older and more substantial than beige.

In strong sun, the golden side grows. Low light settles it toward brown. Ivory trim suits it, and dark wood or aged metal can finish the room. Test beside tile if the floor leans pink or orange.

Ancient Fresco 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.
