Valspar

Fescue

8002-35B

Fescue is a pale green-gray with a watery, cool cast. It is cleaner than sage. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, or bedrooms suit it where calm freshness matters.

Its lighter value can cover larger walls without feeling heavy. White tile brings out the coolness. Natural oak warms it back up. Sample beside cream cabinets before using it nearby. Check the grout too.

Fescue 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.
