Valspar

September Fog

6003-1A

Valspar September Fog is a light warm gray-beige with a creamy beige undertone. The creamy gray-beige undertone flatters bedrooms with layered textiles. The color works well in bedrooms, hallways, and main living spaces that need warmth without obvious yellow.

White oak, off-white trim, or muted blue fabrics ground it. In cool daylight, the gray becomes more visible. Against dark wood, it looks lighter and more refined.

September 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.
