What color is Behr Foggy London?
Behr Foggy London PPU25-09 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading cold or stark. Its low saturation gives walls a softly weathered, almost mineral look, while the subtle warmth is especially apparent beside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Foggy London can appear like a pale greige; under warmer lamps, its beige-gray character becomes more pronounced. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted without the sharpness of a true gray. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen upholstery, or brushed nickel for a restrained, layered interior.

What are Behr Foggy London undertones?
Foggy London is a mid-light, very muted straw beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Foggy London
Foggy London has an LRV of 53.39% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 53.39%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
