Valspar

Fern Shadow

V059-1

Fern Shadow is a bright pale yellow-green with a creamy base. The creamy yellow-green cast brightens utility spaces quickly. A laundry room, breakfast nook, or bath can take it when a gentle green tint adds lift.

The high lightness keeps it open, but the undertone will show beside white trim. Warm wood or clear white tile brings balance. Pink beige finishes may make the green look sharper.

Fern Shadow 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.
