Foggy Morn

62%LRV Value
Save

Foggy Morn reads as crisp and architectural — strong in modern spaces, with natural fixed elements (chrome, stone, glass), or as a quiet anchor. At LRV 62 it sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas, soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. Skip it if you want a cozy, warm room — cool neutrals can feel sterile under warm bulbs or in low light.

Foggy Morn Technical Profile

What color is Behr Foggy Morn (PPF-17)? It's a light cool gray — hex #CAD0CE, LRV 62. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Foggy Morn is PPG Barely Jade — a near-identical match on the wall, with PPG Ghost Whisperer and Valspar Northern Sky also close. At LRV 62, Foggy Morn sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. As a cool neutral, Foggy Morn pairs with cool whites for trim, gray-toned or rift-cut oak floors, and brushed nickel or polished chrome hardware. Black accents and natural greenery add contrast. As a lighter neutral, Foggy Morn works as a whole-room or trim color and keeps adjoining colors reading clean — pair it with crisper whites a step brighter than itself so the trim still separates. Cool neutrals hold their crisp quality under 4000K+ daylight bulbs. Under 2700K warm light they soften considerably — particularly true for any blue or green undertone. Lighter neutrals reveal their undertone most, so Foggy Morn can swing warmer under 2700K bulbs and cleaner under 4000K daylight — sample it against your trim before committing.
