Valspar

Fanfare

T626

Fanfare is a softened gray-green with a muted sage undertone. It feels quiet and lived-in. A bedroom, hallway, or laundry room gains a botanical lean from it without losing neutrality.

The mid-light value gives enough color to notice without taking over. Cream trim or natural oak keeps it easy. Very cool whites can make the green look slightly dusty.

Fanfare 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.
