In a room

Where this color can work

Foggy Day is a light, creamy beige that can soften a bedroom, family room, or covered entry with an easy transition to wood and woven textures. It reflects substantial light but still presents as a wall color beside white trim. Warm afternoon sun can bring forward more gold. Check it against flooring and ceiling paint under both natural and artificial light, especially if the room already contains several off-whites that must look deliberately layered.
