Valspar

Foggy Mauve

V126-4

Foggy Mauve is a muted rose-taupe with a gray-brown base. It feels quiet and grown-up. A bedroom, powder room, or reading corner can hold it where beige needs more character.

Deeper mauves need good light and trim contrast. Work cream linen or dark walnut into the room. Cool daylight can make the mauve look dustier. That can be beautiful.

Foggy Mauve 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.
