Morning Fog

SW 6255

Morning Fog is a cool medium-light gray carrying distinct blue undertones that become more apparent under natural daylight. With an LRV of 42, it sits in the mid-range of light reflectance, providing enough depth to anchor a room without absorbing too much light. It works well in bathrooms, hallways, and open-plan living spaces where a composed neutral is needed.

For coordinated schemes, consider pairing it with Sherwin-Williams Pure White, Agreeable Gray, Naval, Alabaster, or Uncertain Gray.

Morning Fog 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.
