What color is Valspar UK Thames Fog?

Valspar UK Thames Fog X142R276C is a muted mid-tone grey with a noticeable green cast and a soft, lightly earthy character. Its low saturation keeps the color understated, sitting between a weathered sage and a cool stone grey rather than reading as a clear green. In bright daylight, the grey aspect is likely to feel more apparent, while warmer artificial lighting can draw out its subtle olive undertone. Thames Fog suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quieter alternative to standard grey is wanted. Pair it with chalky off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or linen textiles for a grounded, lived-in scheme.
