Valspar

New Morn Fog

M356

New Morn Fog is a soft gray with a slight green-blue cast. The undertone stays quiet. It works well in bedrooms or open areas where a plain gray would feel flat.

The color can look cleaner beside white trim and more relaxed beside light oak. Under warm bulbs, it may lose some coolness. Test near any fixed stone, because green-gray can shift around countertops.

New Morn 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.
