Undertone: No measurable undertone (true neutral)
In CIELAB, Fusion sits at L* 66.8, a* 0.7, b* 1.4. Its hue angle is 64° and its chroma is 1.6, so it has essentially no color cast — a true neutral that will pick up the color of the light and surroundings. It classifies as neutral. Among Benjamin Moore colors with a similar LRV (±5), it is warmer (more yellow) than 24%.
LRV 36.7: mid-tone
Light Reflectance Value runs from 0 (absolute black) to 100 (perfect white). At 36.7, Fusion is lighter than 40% of Benjamin Moore colors. Reads clearly as a color. Best in rooms with good natural light, or as an accent wall; small dark rooms may feel smaller.
