Foggy Day

SW 6235

Foggy Day is a cool medium blue-gray with a muted, subdued character that limits its chromatic intensity. With an LRV of 20, it falls on the darker side of the mid-range and suits accent walls, exteriors, and cabinetry. Snowbound and Pure White provide strong light contrast on trim, while Accessible Beige introduces a warmer neutral counterpoint.

Gray Screen works as a tonal companion in layered gray schemes. The blue undertone is most visible in daylight and recedes under warm artificial light sources.

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.
