Valspar

Fermata

M150

Fermata is a very deep olive-brown with a muted gold undertone. The low LRV makes lamps and lighter ceilings essential. Doors, built-in cabinetry, or a dramatic powder room suit it best when the space has good lighting.

This color will absorb light, especially in flat paint. Warm white walls or textured stone give it relief. Brass feels natural beside it. A pale ceiling keeps the envelope open.

Fermata 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.
