Misty Memories

2118-60

Misty Memories (2118-60) is a gray with a distinct lavender undertone, sitting at an LRV of 59.53 in the mid-light range. The blue-violet base sets it apart from standard cool grays, giving walls a faintly purple cast that shifts depending on the light source. Warmer incandescent lighting tends to mute the lavender and push the color toward a plainer gray, while daylight draws out the violet character more clearly.

It works alongside Silver Fox (2108-50) and Woodcliff Lake (980) as complementary neutrals, and pairs with Balboa Mist (OC-27), Hale Navy (HC-154), and White Dove (OC-17).
