Valspar

Thames Fog

V144-5

Valspar Thames Fog is a deep gray khaki with a faint olive cast. The olive khaki undertone gives exterior siding or mudroom walls weight without reading military green. This color suits exterior bodies, offices, or mudrooms where beige would feel too warm and gray too cool.

Because it sits below 30 LRV, plan on strong trim contrast. Warm white paint, black steel, or weathered wood can support it, and nearby stone needs checking.

Thames 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.

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.
