What color is Sherwin Williams Drift of Mist?
Sherwin Williams Drift of Mist SW 9166 is a pale, muted greige that sits between soft gray and warm off-white. Its subtle green-gray undertone keeps it from looking flat, though it can read a little cooler and more silvery in north-facing rooms. In warm afternoon sun or under amber lamps, it shifts toward a gentle putty tone, much like weathered linen with a faint gray cast. It is a strong main wall color for open living areas, bedrooms, and hallways where a crisp white might feel too stark. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, honed stone, linen upholstery, and aged brass; deeper accents in olive, navy, or walnut give the light shade useful contrast.

LRV of Drift of Mist
Drift of Mist has an LRV of 69% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 69%, 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.
