Valspar

Blizzard Fog

7006-18

Blizzard Fog is warm gray held light by a faint green-beige undertone. It feels soft rather than icy. Bedrooms and hallways can use it where a bright neutral needs gentle depth; open rooms can too.

The color will read cleaner beside white trim and warmer beside oak. In north light, it can lean more gray. Pair with linen, stone, or black accents for quiet definition.

Blizzard 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.
