Valspar

Fat Cat

T697

Fat Cat is a deep gray with a quiet green-khaki undertone. It feels utilitarian in a good way. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, or a small office where a warmer gray suits existing finishes.

The color needs lighter surfaces nearby. Cream trim can work if it stays clean, not yellowed. But watch beige carpet. It may push the khaki side too far.

Fat Cat 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.
