What color is Sherwin Williams Morning Fog?
Sherwin Williams Morning Fog SW 6255 is a light-to-mid-tone gray with a muted blue cast that keeps it noticeably cool without looking icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, hazy appearance, especially in rooms with natural daylight. In north-facing spaces, Morning Fog can read more blue-gray, while warmer afternoon light may bring forward its neutral gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a calm, understated wall color is wanted, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or deeper navy-blue textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Morning Fog
Morning Fog has an LRV of 41.65% 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 41.65%, 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.
