Undertones
Foggy Morning is an almost-neutral paint color with delicate blush undertones. These undertones give it a soft, warm feel that can change depending on the lighting in your room.
In south-facing rooms, where there’s plenty of natural light, you’ll notice Foggy Morning looks warmer, and those blush undertones really start to shine through.
On the other hand, in north-facing rooms with less natural light, this color can appear a bit cooler and more neutral, making it versatile for different spaces.
Because lighting can significantly affect how a color looks, I always recommend swatching Foggy Morning on your walls before making a final decision. It’s the best way to see how those beautiful blush undertones will play out in your specific room.
