About fog

Fog is a soft, slightly warm pale gray with an atmospheric quality — the color of morning mist over water. The faint warmth keeps it from feeling cold, and the desaturation lets it recede rather than announce itself on a wall.

Use it in north-facing bedrooms, home offices, and primary baths where you want quiet light. With LRV in the upper range, it brightens dim rooms without going stark white. Pair with linen whites, oak floors, and aged brass. Designer alternatives: BM Gray Owl, SW Repose Gray, F&B Skimming Stone.
