Misty Morning Dew

4003-3C

Misty Morning Dew is a muted blue-violet gray with a soft cast. It feels soft and cool. Bedrooms, baths, or office walls fit it when a space needs quiet color.

The shade has enough presence to show against white trim without feeling dark. Warm lamps reduce the blue at night. Brushed nickel and pale wood work well. Beige carpet can make the gray side feel flatter, so sample near the floor.

Misty Morning Dew 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.
