Sherwin Williams

Drift of Mist

SW 9166

Drift of Mist is a light, cool-leaning neutral with soft gray undertones and an LRV of 69, placing it in the high-reflectance range suitable for full-room application. It reads as an off-white with a faint greige quality that shifts slightly warmer or cooler depending on ambient light. This makes it a functional whole-house color or trim option.

It coordinates cleanly with Sherwin-Williams Gossamer Veil, Agreeable Gray, Repose Gray, and Alabaster, all of which maintain a quiet tonal consistency across adjoining spaces.
