Valspar

Fountain Foam

V099-2

Fountain Foam is a pale gray-green that feels soft rather than minty. It stays muted. The color can quiet a bedroom or bath without looking sterile, especially with white tile and weathered wood.

In low daylight, the gray side comes forward. That makes it safer than a brighter green for larger rooms. Pair with brushed nickel or pale oak, and avoid strong cream trim unless the sample still looks clean.

Fountain Foam 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.
