Valspar

Misty Memory

V144-2

Misty Memory is a pale gray-beige with a faint yellow-green cast. It stays quietly neutral. Halls, bedrooms, and open living spaces fit it when a neutral should stay light but not stark.

It will lean warmer beside blue-white trim. Near cream finishes, it may read as a soft off-white. Pair it with natural linen or brushed nickel. Sample near tile grout, because undertones can shift there.

Misty Memory 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.
